I would say that they should be sent to Death Valley in the summertime to practice. They can also feed the big birds.
WAIT A MINUTE! I DON'T LIKE BIRDS!!!
In the closing days of WWII the Nazis were destroying everything that they thought might not look so good. There were a series of movie shorts (three, possibly four) made to educate the public on the reasons to "assist" those unfortunates who were burdened with life. I saw one of the films that survived. It, of course, started with those with mental developmental problems (now called mentally handicapped) and progressed to those with mental illness (including homosexuals I think). The movie short ended with those who have grown too old and suffer too much to keep living.
It was presented as a professor talking to collage students in a classroom setting on compassion for those suffering a life that no normal person would choose to live.
In a world of increasing demands on dwindling resources (sometimes contrived), we may see something like that again. I hope to be long dead before that time. But if you should see a compassionate person on TV explaining why we must make hard choices....
