Old for young
Old for young —ie. where the old sacrifice for the sake of the young, either by self for sake of natural balance, or else by enforced law for sake of population control quotas, is a theme or concept of a custom of human sacrifice typically found within certain types of science fiction stories, however real examples of these customs have been recorded to exist among some indigenous people, such as certain Inuit tribes.
