How were the mentally disabled chosen to die during the holocaust?

The mentally disabled were murdered in German extermination camps by various means (i.e. gassings, shootings, and by the spread of disease, such as Typhus, due to poor conditions throughout the camps) prior to and during WWII. This was due to the policy of "eugenics". Eugenics was a science (some would say pseudo-science), perpetuated in many places throughout the world at the time (including the United States), that advocated the extermination and forced sterilization of diseased and mentally retarded individuals in order to stop them from breeding and passing on their genes to future generations. This was done due to a number of reasons; for example, in Germany it was done in order to promote the Nazi ideal of a healthy, pure-blooded, Aryan race, but mainly because it was believed that by exterminating and/or sterilizing persons afflicted with the aforementioned deficiencies, certain diseases and mental retardation could be completely eradicated from society. But as we now know, that wasn't the case. Keep in mind, while America did not pursue eugenics on an extermination basis, many diseased, mentally retarded and mentally ill individuals were forcefully sterilized in order to keep them from procreating.
