Jean-Marc Jancovici proposes to stop treating people over the age of 65 in order to make them die gently. "In Western countries," he declared, "there is a first way to regulate the population in a reasonably painless way" Fortunately, a law that would put in place such a measure would be unlikely to become law in the first place, says the author of a new book on degrowth.

The book, "Shift Project", is published by the journal Socialter.
