### 2.
# Brief Explanations:
Euthanasia is the act of intentionally ending a person's life to eliminate pain and suffering, often in cases of terminal illness or severe disability. In the Nazi context, it was misused as a euphemism for state - sponsored murder of those they considered "unworthy of life".

Children with physical/mental disabilities.
