question[edit]

Hey, HerkusMonte, I'm not sure what this sentence means: In some cases of "wild euthanasia" the patients were killed by overdosing already in Kortau. What is wild euthanasia, and then 'were killed by overdosing already in Kortau' isn't clear. --valereee (talk) 17:08, 13 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ewa Gładkowska uses the term "wild euthanasia" to describe the killings outside of the regular T4 program committed by overdosing of medication (see Dosing/ Dose (biochemistry)) HerkusMonte (talk) 07:22, 14 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
