I can't recall which but there is at least one movie (I think history based) where Nazi Dr's gas a number of handicapped people and then a letter is sent to the family of one young girl about how she refused to eat, etc. and died in spite of all they tried to do. I believe Oliver Wendell Holmes has also been cited. There was a family where the mother and grandmother were both weak of mind and he gave the order for the granddaughter to be sterilized because 'three generations of Imbeciles is enough.' Alas Hitler and his friends didn't create eugenics nor were they the last to hold such views.
