An already-ageing population living even longer while nobody wants kids anymore?

Am I correctly reading your argument that you are pro cancer for the purposes of demographic balance?
I think his broader point is that life preservation doesn't seem like such a big win if overall quality of life is dropping to the point where people decide to not subject their potential children with the burden of living.
I would say that’s a pretty huge if.

Where has quality of life dropped so much that people want to die slowly at a young age of a horrible and painful disease instead of getting old?
