Should we see a collapse of biblical proportions, on the order of something between the Dark Ages (though a bit of a misnomer) and the Stone Age, I wonder if the practice of discarding the infirm and unproductive might begin to arise? Seems euthanasia and suicide might become more accepted options for the formerly-affluent current generations unable to cope well with the reduced standard of living.

Caveat: unlike many, I see the only things preventing everyone being well-fed are ignorance of farming methods, politics and Big Money. It is, in my opinion, absurdly easy to feed all 6.7 persons currently alive. However, people (in the sense of the entirety of humanity, are selfish and stupid, so...) Thatis to say, I am not advocating the above measures in any way, shape, or form.

Cheers
