All cases of social euthanasia would come under this model. This concept was influential in Antiquity; in Modern Times it has been used in the period between 1870 and 1939. This form of euthanasia was in fact the elimination of persons suffering from serious incurable diseases and from physical or mental handicaps. g. in Germany by the Law for the Prevention of Hereditarily Diseased Offspring from the year 1933). 5.

The doctrine establishing an important moral difference between “commission” and “omission”, between “active” and “passive”, between “ordinary means” and “extraordinary means” became useless and misleading when applied to euthanasia as it was understood in the 1970s and 1980s (Husak, 1980; Jonsen, 1998; Kamm, 1994; Walton, 1976).
