'You have until December 31st 2022 to kill yourself, if you are unable to kill yourself, a state funded murderer will be ordered to kill you at that time.' The world is a nightmare.
Another good one is the Stargate Sg-1 Plot of the Achen.
Basically found agri-world where populace is ruled by an advanced civilization. Turns out agriworld was more advanced, but had an engineered mass depop turing them into agri world from say a 1920s level tech. Aschen made alliance with earth, cast finds out 20 years later a vaccine panacea given to them made 90% of people infertile. Slow death and subjugation. They literally had to use time travel to win because thats how fucked they were.

I feel like this is low-tech currently, but we are 10 years away from Futurama suicide booths.... :(
The state cannot... they CANNOT be trusted with the ability to determine who gets to live and die. "Affordable healthcare" is a euphemism for this.
