Another thing, that my husband and I escaped by marrying unusually young, is that more and more young people are having to skip forming their own families because of eldercare.

Eldercare used to be months of palliative care or dealing with someone with a chronic illness for years, and it was an honor. But it can now mean decades of caring full-time for someone who is both past the Biblical 70 _and_ near death. People can now be almost-dead indefinitely.

And, since families are small, this can lead to that person having no grandchildren. How is this in keeping with Christ's message of eternal salvation? Are we prolonging life because we love life, or is this just a tangential aspect of the Culture of Death?

A Culture Against Natural Death?

A Culture That Rejects Death And Prevents New Life?

A gerontocracy, but everyone is trying to be nice?

Is this fiat? This seems like something bizarre and perverse that a society can only afford, on this grand scale, with excessive credit and run-away money printing.
