>The primitives tribes that just left them in the jungle to die, or threw them to the woods, had it right. There is actually a community in India (so I've read - not sure if true) that does that - the Todas. They leave (or used to leave) their elderly in large urns once they are unable to work and help themselves. Been to Ooty (in the Nilgiris, a mountain range in South India), and seen some of them when I was a kid. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toda_people https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toda_people
