"The Alaskan Eskimo used to send their old people out on an ice floe to die"

isn't this pretty much what the eu. health system does today. I don't believe they will perform surgery etc on elderly. no pay out since life expectancy wouldn't be extended much further anyway.

here, edlerly are expendable, they served their purpose. The younger generation no longer care for their elders , they send them off to a nursing home , where average life expectancy is about nine months.

Listen to the stories of home care aides how the significant other will not care or the children refuse to change an adults diaper. I hear from others if my husband gets sick i can't care for him he will go to a nursing home. these people are not saying they cannot physcially care for the person. It is rather a burden on their planned programs. I figure it's not much further from putting them on the ice floe to die.
