Why stop with older people? Why not simply allow anyone who wants to off themselves to get on with it safely? After all, we wouldn't want young people to think that being useless is something you have to suffer with for years.

To take it a bit farther, why wait for them to decide to go themselves - some of these people don't have a lot of get-up-and-go in the first place, maybe they just need a little helping hand. Why not off those who are _demonstrably_ providing little value to {others, the state, the corporation}?

Life is worth living. No matter how worthless you feel, no matter how how alone you seem. You are not alone. You are not worthless. You Are Loved. [1]
