Actually, it seems crazy to me that the economic argument gets more play than the humanitarian argument. People, including the old, seem happy to consign the aged to suffering and death, but that aging and age-related disease impacts the economy gets a larger fraction of them up in arms.

Not just in business and families, also in science, that old saying about new ideas only taking old when the people holding the old ones die still holds true since we have not changed (same brains) since it was first said.
