"it's hard to imagine the world without them"

There is soviet sci-fi novel that features a distopian society where people a killed before they become frail and become a burdain, and its considered an honour. They can't imagine the world otherwise.

For the curious, it's "The Hour of the Bull" by Ivan Yefremov.

(It should be noted that this particular feature is not the central premise of the book, but merely one of the facets of said dystopian society.)

"Carrousel" from Logan's Run, is the western equivalent.

I think that was also a storyline in a Twilight Zone episode.
