Sweden best country to grow old in: U.N.

Sweden and Norway at the top? Socialists countries? High taxes? No way! Better bomb them before it spreads. [/sarcasm]

Sweden and Norway also allow euthanasia, which also ensures that elderly with terminal illnesses do not have to suffer needlessly. I've seen a number of people in nursing homes screaming "just let me die" "kill me" while abusive doctors and nurses shove tubes down their throats.

Elderly people deserve to be treated with dignity, not pinned down and force medicated.

Sweden and Norway, spend half your life in a cryogenic state.

I dread growing old in Japan. I see how old people try to live over here in their old age.

Tumble,

Don't forget both countries have politicians with pretty much absolute transparency. They even have to pay for their own lunches. Compare that to other staunchly socialist European countries about to sink, like France and her unsustainable social services.

oh get real Sweden is so small, every service being within your area is being pathetic, not to mention the running costs could get by on what some companies cough up for winter bonus.....pleeeeease be real. And when you talk euthanasia, yk there is a fine line between being compassionate and totally prejudice to a less than normal circumstance, or person rather, right. Euthanasia doesnt just deal with the old yk. It kills any age, I remember a case not long ago, could have been Sweden, cause it was in Europe about, where somebody was mistakenly killed. Another case where because of mental illness-depression I think it was, they were compassionate and killed. Youd want to be careful it's not just hoarding a dictator-like mindset left over from half a century or so ago; and seeing that they and their family would now be the elderly, that they havent just hogged down all the taxes to establish a false pretense to something that is really not possible.
