I heard many time that in old times in other culture families during time of poverty usually in the winter when food would become scares, they would pick one family member, sometime it would be random other time it would be the elderly, they would pick a family member to basically die so the other can have more food. is that true? if so what culture have done that ?
While the idea that in "other" cultures people used to practice senicide in times of famine/in winter is and was quite common (with the first stories coming down to us from ancient Greece) there is little historical evidence for this practice. The best known cases occurred among the Inuit but even these were very rare.
