The Japanese, burdened by their elderly, are apparently killing them:
Not enough of those AI elder-care robots yet, I guess.
Somewhat related thought: remember that "Star Trek: The Next Generation" episode about the society that ritually kills its citizens when they turn sixty? Strict enforcement of the retirement age. At 54, I'm getting close to that cutoff. Is it time to Soylent Green me?
