Sick Old People, Where To Go?

In the present world, China and Japan have the most aging people in number, averaging age at eighty-five. The system today is that when you have reached at age of sixty-five, you are regarded as an old person, with a special privilege from Government.
But, old people are a problem now who can only give a burden to the society which can no longer receive contribution from them.
Old people can be divided into three categories. First are those who can take care of themselves in their daily life. Second are the group who need to be taken care in the day and in the night, they can still handle the life of their own. The third are the group who need care from people day and night, in every detail of their life. They have to be fed by others, unable to go toilet by themselves. Those are really a great burden to the society.
Old age is natural to everybody and everyone has a right to live to their last day. To control the living or death is only by the mercy of God. We, human, have the responsibility to take care of persons even he is helplessly old.
