Japan should let elderly ‘hurry up and die’: finance minister Taro Aso

“Japan’s finance minister Taro Aso said Monday the elderly should be allowed to ‘hurry up and die’ instead of costing the government money for end-of-life medical care.  Ageing is a sensitive issue in Japan, one of the world’s oldest countries, with almost a quarter of its 128 million people over 60. That figure is expected to rise to 40 percent within the next half-century.  At the same time a shrinking number of workers is placing further strain on an already groaning social security system, with not enough money going into the pot to support those who depend on it.”
