> It's certainly a difficult cost/benefit analysis, preserving the lives of the elderly ...

Human beings have rights, including and especially to life, regardless of the costs to you. The question is, how do we preserve as many lives as possible, and then at the least possible cost.



No that's not how it works. There is no such thing as a right to life. Others are not required to keep your alive.


If there is no right to life then there are no rights whatsoever. Last I checked most countries uphold a right to life for their citizens.
