Elderly people without family support are going to end up on the streets en masse because of things like this.
Euthanasia will be legalised and normalised sooner than we expwct
Already happening here in Canada!
This is already happening in Canada. Even though self assisted suicide is only for those already facing a terrible and unavoidable near death, we have multiple reports of medical staff recommending it for people who can be treated… which doesn’t magically get them on some death list, it just exposes the medical staff for being an apathetic idiot.
Doesn't get them on some death list YET. That kind of callous inhumanity ferments and grows in apathy.
I think there is already a set date where we can use it for mental health reasons, 2024 iirc
That's entirely possible

The Boomers can have exactly as much family support as they gave to those who came after.
