I'm pretty sure some nomadic cultures will designate someone to walk up behind an older person who is draining resources, and end their life in various ways.

Morality is simply different when survival is an everyday concern.

This is also why ancient rulers would sometimes maim captured warriors and send them home. They knew they would be a burden on their societies and would create a moral problem.
