Cannot disagree more strongly with your point! No, the economic benefit of “having the sickest and most elderly die” should most definitely not be taken into account in strategic national planning.

Every life is precious. This line of thought is exactly what lead the Nazis to murder hundreds of thousands they considered an economic burden.

Never forget.
