As with every collective society, eventfully it is the elderly, infirm, and those that are deemed to be "unsuitable" that are cast out. We see this not only in history, but in today's societies that have taken control over essential services, such as healthcare.
A recent example of an unfortunate oversight (which will not doubt be the reply from the Obama administration), is the omission of one our more vulnerable elements of our society...the elderly.
Senior Citizens Left Off Government’s Swine-Flu Vaccination Priority List
I venture to guest that someone in the Obama administration will eventually suggest a solution that solves two perceived problems: those stuborn old folks who just won't die and the alleged dwindling food source for the polar bear population. Advise to anyone over 60 years-old, if the governemnt offers you a "free trip" to the artic circle, don't be surpise if the tickets one-way.
