Now the million dollar question is “Is it worth living with all these or make way for fit and healthy children??”
One has to decide. It’s rather a billion dollar question as will be confirmed by the profit projection of multinational pharmaceutical companies dealing with drugs and biological replacement organs/parts and others dealing with cosmetics like Botox application for correction of wrinkles in the elderly.
My personal opinion: for fit old people without any of the above or any 4 have the right to live.
