Nazi policy toward disabled persons violated which principle of human dignity?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Every human life is valuable from birth
The Nazis treated disabled persons as “unfit” or as a burden on society and considered their lives less valuable. This violated the principle that every human life has equal, inherent worth from birth. Options A and B reflect Nazi ideas of judging life by usefulness, not a principle of human dignity. Exam tip: link the Nazi “euthanasia” programme with the dehumanisation of disabled people and the denial of human dignity.
