Certainly this is an opportunity perhaps, for some people to exit this life.

You have left out of this equation that the medical establishment and pharmaceutical companies and poverty and poor eating habits (promoted by advertising and big food companies), etc. have created a situation where the elderly, in general, are not healthy. They are kept sick by allopathic practices. Couple this with the natural process of aging and metabolism, and you have people who are very ill and don't function well. They aren't necessarily past their time naturally, they are past their time artificially.
So yes, this is an opportunity to exit the horrible existence of living in a nursing home. But if our world really cared about well-being and heath, those who get to an old age wouldn't be there; they would be living in their homes gardening or doing whatever they wanted to do. Maybe slower, maybe somewhat debilitated by natural aging, but still of value to the world and still finding joy in life.
