And, if you can confiscate their wealth at death you have the best of all worlds. At some point we need to set an upper limit on life. 21 sounds like a good number, after that everything is downhill.

“Intellectuals have a duty to die. Maybe we need a website to tell them how by the age of 25 they can jump off the Golden Gate Bridge or into the Grand Canyon or use some other method that will not inconvenience the rest of us.”

I was just thinking the same sort of thing. What if I said that ignorant, uninformed, low-intelligence voters have a duty to die? What if I said that bratty, feral kids “parented” by parents who are themselves kids have a duty to die? What if I said that know-it-all 20-somethings have a duty to die? I could go on and on. But unlike these liberal fools, I don’t want to play God.

In the book Moscow 2042, they get a handle on health care costs by deporting anyone who becomes ill.

There will be no death panels. The president said so.

Instead there will be some official making a decision. There might be disagreement on a panel.
