Both are inhumane. The proposed solution is a sacrifice of your older body in favor of good times when you're young. For some people, that's ideal. This idea also doesn't work for those who do not have the financial means to take advantage of a sabbatical. This idea becomes one for the "wealthy" (relatively speaking). The underclasses continue to be subservient to money. Are the underclass not worthy of this 'benefit'? EDIT: I'm approaching this from an American POV. I can't speak for how Europeans live/take vacation/retire.
