In 2050, as the fertility rate declines and young people's willingness to have children repeatedly decreases, mankind will enter a seriously aging society. In country C, on average, one young adult labor force has to support 1-2 elderly people. The young people are overwhelmed and the national finance is also stretched; in country J, gray-haired elderly people can be seen everywhere. Some elderly people with low pensions after retirement take desperate risks to make a living. Theft by the elderly is becoming more and more serious, and teenagers wantonly beat lonely elderly people late at night. In Alliance E, unemployed youths frequently rob slow-moving elderly people, and some single elderly people were found dead at home many days later.
I am Liang Wende, a professor of sociology at the University of C, Country B. Against this background, I proposed the concept of the "Elephant Tomb Project" on my blog - advocating that elderly people over 80 years old who have lost the ability to take care of themselves and voluntarily undergo euthanasia sign up to enter the "Elephant Tomb" established by the state and spend a final peaceful and happy week before the state performs euthanasia on them.
