No. Why deny people the right to medicine, just because they are old! Surely, if we are healthier than before, we can work for longer, which means the elderly will still be useful. Raising the retirement won't be popular, but purposely letting people die off would cause outrage among the general public.
Also, after the initial aging population period, which countries like Japan and Germany are currently experiencing, population will fall anyway and is already falling and eventually stabilise again. Germany has population growth of -0.1% now. You fail to understand human development, as there are 4 stages as shown in the graph.
This model is very much due to economic and technological development, as people are educated about reproduction and have higher access to medicine, birth rates and death rates fall as a result as the country develops, until they are both very low and population growth is flat. But now due to high life expectancy and low birth rates, population starts to fall as the death rate starts to increase, as the older generation dies off.
So what would the point of denying people medicine anyway?
Also by saying this, is like paying off scientists too stop trying to find a cure for diseases like HIV, cancer or others? We are humans, we like to advance ourselves, denying people medicine because of their age is very backward thinking.
