Since the end of the Vietnam war the Western world has started to value life.
Prior to this men went to war, to explore, to adventure and died.
Women dropped kids until they wore out and died.
That was nature's way.
With the advent of modern communications, particularly live television, all of a sudden we could actually see the face those dying outside our own family.
As a consequence we started extending life beyond it's natural limit, started changing nature.
Now nature is fighting back, targeting particularly those
who would probably have died by now, 50 years ago.
As an old fart, closer to death than life in the natural order of things, I wonder if we shouldn't just let nature regain her balance.
NB: For those of a religious bent replace "nature" with your god.
