Japanese Finance Minister Taro Aso has some blunt advice for elderly
people he sees as strains on the country's resources: to "hurry up and
die." Aso called the country's elderly who are no longer able to feed
themselves "tube people" and noted that if he were in the same position,
he would feel "increasingly bad knowing that [treatment] was all being
paid for by the government." He went on to say the problem will only be
solved when the elderly "hurry up and die." Aso's comments were
especially harsh given Japan's culture of showing the elderly the utmost
respect.
