They should have a death alert instead. It'll be wired to the funeral homes and they just wait a couple of days and then go through, collect the body and tidy the place up a bit.

I think there is a case to be made to stop unaturally extending life, however, it wouldn't stop with the elderly (and shouldn't).

I think though, instead of going to that extreme we should instead work on population control and finding renewable energy sources.

The people who collect the bodies could throw them into a pit and accelerate their aging so they turn to carbon faster! Forget renewable energy, we have systems that work now, and it would be better just to find different sources of the same fuel.

Obviously. It's more a practical use of resources stance. Its not a compassionate view, but a rational look at how to better the world.

There are other methods that attain the same results though, so instead I would push towards those.

Yes. I've met people who were laying on the floor or outside for days before anyone found them.

they need to implant senior citizens with a self destruct button and pretend it's life alert.

They should give everyone a self destruct button.

I dreamt last night that I hung myself on an oversize clothes rack and nobody found me for months.

That's an awful dream. How did you feel when you awoke?

Tired.

To be fair, I didn't have much going for me in my dream life.

I sold everything that I inherited and bought a bespoke tailored business suit from William Fioravanti, then had Stuart Phillips fix my hair.

My Aunt Jane (not really my aunt, but a close family friend who took care of my mom a lot) had a stroke and wasn't found for a day and a half. By then, she had completely lost use of her right arm. Eventually, through rehabilitation, she regained use of it.

My grandmother has LifeAlert and wears it around her neck at all times. I think it is a great product that could and has saved many lives.

She had another stroke about a year later and died.

Too many old people over-populating the planet anyway.

It would make much more sense to stop needless breeding, then to kill off the elderly.

THE work. People have to retire at some point - an ageing population helps nothing.

Oh yeah. I think its 30 and 21? They did that change because there's no way you could convince an audience that Michael York is younger than 21.

You are right. Also, I think that test audiences would be more offended if the doomed characters were that young.
