here's something that will help.

Barbara Harris has formed an organization called Project Prevention she pays male and female drug addicts to be sterilized. Formed in America it has now extended its hunting ground to the UK.

Yes, she's been on the news here recently. Paying addicts for a quick snip, well it's a choice? Seems a lot of people thought it was a good idea and some did not.

It'll take as many as is needed to produce enough Soylent Green to feed the rest of us.

I intend to make a recording of this, before I reach the nursing home (to save my voice...)

"Nurse, where the fuck's my cardigan?
And my gin!"

There's one less person for the world to support.

If you need to live in a nursing home, then you're a burden to society. But it's OK, you'll be rewarded in the next life.

how is it a burden to society when majority of senior citizens in those homes are paying it out of their own pensions or their 401 retirement funds which they worked for their whole life? and nursing homes are big business, huge! they make tons of money of the stupid old people you don't seem to like.

It's a burden because it means he still has to work. If they committed suicide they could have left all the money to him instead of spending it on a nursing home.

A younger population is more adaptable to the coming changes in climate. There will be rising sea levels and soil erosion is already ongoing. This limits the amount of land for crops and so the human carrying capacity of the planet. So the old are not simply a burden but a existenital risk in draining a collapsing human population of its human and physical resources. This goes for others but as I am trying to point out a early intelligent change can give choice to the old and a good death when it comes without drifting into barbarism. It is no good waiting anxiously until all hell breaks loose and mayhem settles in utter barbarism what could be resolved with compassion and carefully thought through guidance.

At what age do you propose to start this cull ?

I think medical intervention shoulld be denied altogether, beyond painkillers, after the age of sixty. This is a reflection of the gravity of the crisis we are beset with not because I dislike old people.

Why stop with the old ,surely we would be better off without the handicapped or the just plain dumb and would you want ugly people in this utopian new young world ?

If we want to save resources, we should eat all our pets first.

I think preserving our humanity depends on a compassion and fairness. No one chooses to be handicapped and we all grow old if we live long enough! and so choosing a age related medical cut-off appears both the most sensible and most compassionate way of rapidly reducing a population! and producing a hopefully viable demographic in the face of extreme environmental change.
