Miku's notebook entry: Sep 14, 2010 "We do not want to be a burden on our families. We have been through a lot, and we are not afraid of death." http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/crossing_continents/2862051.stm I think death would solve nothing. But, for elder, in this cases, they have little information. And they are placed difficult position in social( Maybe living with no production make them the weak? Especially in country side ) .It is the problem that they have only one choice to keep their pride :(
