Because, believe it or not, 'some' people actually think that our lives still have some value.
Those people to whom you refer, the over 70s, have probably put more into society than you younger ones ever do or will ever even want to do. We all had responsibilities and accepted them. There was no skiving, staying in bed all day, giving cheek to parents and teachers.
We had to be absolutely obedient, pull our weight and be courteous and caring.
Having more life ahead of you does NOT make YOU more valuable than those over 70. We have the knowledge, the work ethic, the good manners etc. that many of your generation lack. Your own children are going to enter a world with no ethics, no decency no pride in their work etc. and a time will come (when ALL we oldies are gone) when you, and others like you, will not know to whom you can turn for help and advice and, only then, you will realise what you have missed. I pity ANY kids that YOU have or will have.
