The idea that life has value simply because it's a life is a worthless value in itself and has no basis in reality.
If an old person does not have the resources to care for themselves, then the end result is that they should die. Under no circumstance should young people be obligated out of anything other than their own sense of charity to aid old people. Forcing young people to care for the old by using the government's monopoly on power only helps to degenerate a society.
I assume Japan has a universal healthcare system which is a problem. What they should do is privatize the healthcare system and if old people can't afford healthcare, then so be it, they die. The less "socialized" anything Japan has, the better the outcome will be for everyone.
