Have you ever played childfree bingo? If you're a childfree person, then the answer is probably, sadly, yes.
But for the uninitiated, childfree bingo is a snarky reaction to the irritatingly recurrent questions and responses we receive when we reveal we don't have or want kids. They're so frequent and common that we can reliably check them off a bingo card, if we wanted to.
To be clear, no one enjoys playing this game. It's a stupid game with stupid prizes.
A super common bingo is the question: who will take care of you when you're old?
What's wrong with this question? Don't we have a moral obligation to take care of our elders?
Let's examine where that particular bingo comes from and how we should be thinking about end of life care instead.
