It’s so inefficient you may as well just leave the population to starve, nearly the same effect for much less work!

You're going to have people anyway, and they're going to die. We just need a process to make their deaths a d resulting disposal as productive as possible. We could set an optimum age limit; maybe gameify the process, and package it with respect and nobility. We could give it a pleasant name - something like "Carousel" maybe.

We're looking for balance, not a Buddhist sort of minimal impact.
