"They are frustrated and angry because they work hard to support the elderly, but they think that, when it's their turn, there may be nobody to support them," she said.
If only there was a way they could have a generation of younger people supporting them...
The entire "elderly willing to be euthanized" thing is such an old debate, that anyone who thinks they are making radical or new points about it is retarded.
Because it always comes back to the fact that doctors/government/whoever can't be trusted with that power, and will begin to kill people without 120% consent or manipulate them into agreeing (monetary incentive proves they are already there).
There is no solution to that massive hurdle, so there is no point to talking about it further.
A Japanese film-maker is shaking Cannes film audiences to the core with a dystopian vision of her country in which old people agree to be euthanised to solve the challenge of a rapidly ageing population.
Not that much different from what Taro Aso said in 2013. There is a stereotype of Asians respecting their elders, but Japanese culture strongly prioritizes the youth above the elderly. (which makes sense for many reasons)

You can both respect the eldery and prioritize young at the same time.
It's hilarious to me, the lengths women and their allies will go to avoid confronting why birth rates are low.
They'll sooner have everyone over 70 killed than treat men like human beings.
In other words, Canada right now.
