The elderly should not be euthanized at all but elongating the life of someone against their will is wrong. There will be people who want to hang on as long as possible but that does cost money and it really depends on who is paying for it. If it is their money, go right ahead, it pays the doctor's salary who is what you would qualify as a contributing member of society. It also pays for the manufacturing of medical equipment, etc. etc. technically making that elderly person contribute to society. As a society that uses a monetary system we as people are able to accomplish a task in exchange for liquid asset, money. Essentially money = work so even after you stop working the money you have is acquired and stored up work. This system is what allows citizens to contribute after retirement, not to mention the actual accomplishments they did in life outside of accumulating money. A man who cured cancer would have contributed more to society than most anybody multifold long after he goes into retirement.
Also, we won't go Logan's run on everybody.
Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(
