Susanne Paola Antonetta

Susanne Paola Antonetta, an author specializing in psychiatry and eugenics, explores the chilling influence of American eugenics on Nazi euthanasia programs. She reveals that early American eugenicists provided a template for Nazi policies, including gas chamber proposals. Importantly, she discusses the brutal Action T4 program, which resulted in the deaths of 300,000 individuals with neuropsychiatric disorders. Antonetta also highlights the moral complexities faced by doctors and advocates for a more nuanced dialogue on contemporary issues like gene editing and neurodiversity rights.
