        Please explain how any society can work with an overweight of elderly? Watch Kurzgesagt’s video about South Korea. They are looking into a society where every other person is above 65.

          An ethical dilemma game

          1. elders get to be alone, demented and taken care of by young people that earn little money to maintain themselves called nurses, and by a ponzi scheme for the rest of society. 1.5) in case the elder is mentally and physically fit, their needs are above a child’s
          2. we normalize end of life; reducing the number of elders vy their choice
          3. we normalize battery babies; grown and born outside of a human; orphanage++

          Reality of demographics don’t allow for another solution.
