The study also considers how Plan 75 reflects broader social inequalities, particularly in relation to class, gender, and government control over aging populations. Finally, this paper highlights the role of cinema in shaping public perceptions of aging, influencing policy debates on end-of-life care, and challenging ageist narratives in both medical and social contexts.  \nAbstract citation ID: igaf122.3354  \nTHE COST OF LONELINESS: AGEISM AND THE  \nPOLITICS OF ASSISTED DYING IN CHIE  \nHAYAKAWA’S PLAN 75  \nUlla Kriebernegg, University of Graz, Graz, Steiermark, Austria  \nThis paper examines ageism and medically assisted dying as depicted in the Japanese dystopian film Plan 75 (2022), which envisions large-scale, state-organized gerontocide as a solution to the so-called “problem” of old age. In the film, healthy individuals aged 75 and above who voluntarily enroll in the program receive a financial incentive, enabling them to partake in final experiences such as a domestic journey or a luxurious meal before they are put to death in a clinic. The narrative disturbingly normalizes ageism, presenting voluntary death as a practical response to loneliness, poverty, and depression—while simultaneously alleviating Japan’s economic crisis. Using a cultural gerontological framework, this study employs film analysis to interrogate how Plan 75 constructs narratives about aging, autonomy, and societal worth. The paper examines the depiction of older adults as isolated, burdensome figures whose existence must be negotiated through institutionalized solutions rather","cbCainegpGD1fmLq","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainegpGD1fmLq","pdf",44758,"English","# Abstract\n## Film portrayal of ageism\n## Medically assisted dying and incentives\n## Social inequalities and policy implications\n## Autonomy, societal worth, and cultural gerontology","[{\"question\":\"What does Plan 75 (2022) portray about assisted dying?\",\"answer\":\"The film depicts a state-organized program in which people aged 75 and above can voluntarily enroll, receive incentives, and then die in a clinic after final experiences.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the paper describe the film’s treatment of loneliness and social conditions?\",\"answer\":\"The paper states that the narrative normalizes ageism by presenting voluntary death as a response to loneliness, poverty, and depression.\"},{\"question\":\"What analytical framework does the study use?\",\"answer\":\"Using a cultural gerontological framework, the study employs film analysis to examine how Plan 75 constructs narratives about aging, autonomy, and societal worth.\"}]","THE COST OF LONELINESS - AGEISM AND THE POLITICS OF ASSISTED DYING IN CHIE HAYAKAWA’S PLAN 75 | PDF",1790639515]
