omg some people here have no literacy. You guys probably just saw the headline and jumped to the conclusion that Taro Aso is a fool. FYI Japanese media love doing exactly what they did here, copy&pasting words out of the full context and making up a new one (in this case "hurry up and die") that would make a good headline.

In this case Aso was asked for his own personal opinion and he said he would like to hurry up and die if he had to use government money to keep living (in a permanent vegetative state). This is actually a worthwhile discussion in the medical field, and by no means he simply said old people should hurry up and die..

Please make an effort to look for the primary resource before commenting on public. thats just really irresponsible
