Old people should be put down when the burden of keeping them around outweigh their usefulness to society.

Put down? I think that's a harsh term to use for any population of people, regardless of age. While some may view elderly people as a burden, this does not necessarily need to be true, as some people in the older generation have a lot of life experience, wisdom and contributions to offer society. Society can benefit from the knowledge and input older individuals have to offer, and I believe it's more useful to try to re-integrate and engage the elderly in useful activities, rather than completely 'putting them down'.
