Because in normal times we don't deprive millions of working-age people of their livelihood and beggar the economy to preserve the lives of the evry elderly.
And after this over, people should absolutely be having the conversation with parents about Medically Assisted Dying in the event they get dementia. Posters have said how awful those senior homes are, but a large part of their population is people with dementia, who can't feed or dress themselves. What kind of life is that?
