Not at all—morally and with a humanistic-bent—I don’t cheer for the deaths of my loved ones or their peers. But like taxes, death is inevitable.

Economically, I’ll consider it from a Machiavellian perspective:

The sooner limited, choice, resources are freed up for the younger generations the better. The Old were useful because they spawned, and raised, the young. As replacements, knowingly.

You’re being downvoted, but I agree with you. Having a system where the old benefit at the expense of the young is a shit way to organize things.

Taxes yes, but I am not so sure about death.

Sidebar:

Are we about to venture into a trans-humanist discussion, or a spiritual one?

I’m open to either, but I’d like to set the preliminary scope to narrow the available attack surface.

They aren't mutually exclusive.
