wow, It's increasingly popular in Canada as well. It will happen here too. We have too many old people compared to the number of working age adults. Medicare and Social Security are going broke. They probably though Covid would wipe out a larger percentage of old folks but that alone wasn't enough. I see a future where they limit Medicare coverage at a certain predetermined age, something like 85. Rich old people would be able to pay for Medical care beyond that, but the public Treasury will not. They won't have a hard time selling that to Gen Z and Millenials who are going to be getting crushed by taxes to pay for those Programs. The math just doesn't work out. There used to be 7 workers for every Social Security recipient. Soon there will be less than 2 workers...and Medical costs have skyrocketed beyond even ordinary inflation. I could see financial inducements provided for agreeing to be euthanized. Something like reduced Federal Estate taxes. Dear Grandpa. If you die next year your Estate will be taxed at 35%. Take these injections and die this week and we will waive the 35% and your assets will pass to your heirs free of Estate Tax.....that kind of carrot would surely increase the numbers of people volunteering for the easy, painless Final Exit.
