Should old people be euthanized?

I know it insensitive for me to say this, but I am not being illogical. For one, family/society will be relieved from the burden of caring for the elderly. Killing elders means more resources for those who will actually benefit society. Plus, not having to provide for an elder, like for example, your 87 year old, disabled grandma, means you’ll have more money+time and able to do more with your life.
I’ve talked with people who are over 85 years old about what they go through as an elder and it’s truly brutal. Usually, they have severe dementia, and not being able to remember is a horrible experience. Memories is what fulfills you, if you don’t remember, it might as well never have happened.
They will, of course, never be cured, as most are in their 90s. Many of them rarely receive visitors and often feel agitated and scared. I can't help but think that when they can no longer stand, eat, or care for themselves, a quick death would be more humane than enduring this suffering.

Yes, over 50 should be euthanised.

Not only old people, any person above 25years of age when their brain is developed should have a choice to end themselves in sterile environment, Suicide should not be a stigma, but normal visit as if you were going to a dentist. This would actually lead to less amount of suicides, because people given the choice to do it or not, while it being normalized, they would rather continue on living, but they wouldn't have to desperately try to do it alone to themselves

Off topic, but i personally think anyone with below average iq any anyone with extreme physical abnormalities should be euthanized
