It will also have the benefit of taking some pressure off social entitlements. I have heard similar arguments about population control before and it is interesting how many who promote that almost always never include themselves in the ones to go.
I am not a fan of suicide or euthanasia. It is almost always the wrong decision or has a high likelihood of being abused or over prescribed. There is a big difference between withholding treatment (that is a choice any person should make on their own) and actively assisting death. That said, you can make your own choices--but do not give authority to the government to do it, because they have an incentive to get rid of you (that does not include what is best for you).
I am borrowing a parody shirt from the Children of Men movie, but I would strongly recommend you read the novel. The novel is excellent.
