Legalize Voluntary Humane Euthanasia at age 80 or above

The Issue

Legalize Voluntary Humane Euthanasia at age 80 or above. Made in 1971, "Maude and Harold" movie resonates the reality of life and aging..and the prospect of Alzheimer's, sickness and being dependent on others. When Maude reached her 80th birthday she commits suicide. Age is, after all, a terminal illness. I think the government SHOULD allow a person to choose to humanely terminate their life at age 80 using Dr. Kevorkian clinics. By the year 2050, the cost of Alzheimer's will exceed a trillion dollars a year in USA alone, as baby boomers age adding to the cesspool of aging misery, already costing over a quarter of a trillion a year.

Cesspool of human misery, Alzheimer's disease is rapidly rising as human populations are aging, already costing the government over a quarter of a trillion a year just for basic care. NURSING HOMES ARE ABOUT $7,000 a MONTH just for one person. https://www.payingforseniorcare.com/alzheimers/financial-assistance.html


Dutch law permits assisted suicide for healthier older people. https://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/14/world/europe/dutch-law-would-allow-euthanasia-for-healthy-elderly-people.html
