View submission: I don't care about old people dying

I think your title is a bit sensationalised.

I agree that we shouldn’t always try and keep people alive. My grandfather was a vegetable that needed constant care for 8 years before he died. He had no idea what was going on, where he was, who he was, he took no joy in anything. It was a relief for everyone when he passed.

Your title however is just an edgy take without compassion, which doesn’t specify quality of living, that’s the unpopular part.

"I don't care" is a little disingenuous. Everyone cares a little, its just that we spend 3/4 of medical services on boomer's last 3 months.
