I see no reason for it, I don't care how old I am if I need someone else to 'care' for me and I can't do anything useful or fun... wtf just end it. There is no biological imperative to keep super old people around!

It's a valid point.
Modern standards of living and medication are keeping peoples bodies alive a lot longer than they work properly for so a large proportion of elderly people gradually regress physically and mentally back towards being an infant, getting to a point where they need constant looking after and don't have a clue what's going on. No quality of life there and too late to ask to be shot.
