    Hm, maybe. But there is a difference between them dying being beneficial to the system or not.

      I mean, unless the plan is to leave them half in the grave and ready for burial, them dying is going to be beneficial to the system which will no longer need to sustain them.

      The criticism you’re looking for, I think, has more to do with profit motive and the delegation of decision-making to those who, well, profit by it - ie “We’re going to let this person die because another .01% profit this quarter will let me get a new yacht” kind of thinking
