- You may also be looking for the VOY episode "Resolutions".
Resolution was the custom of ritual suicide as practiced on Kaelon II. Kaelons who reached the age of sixty were expected to present themselves to all of their family and friends for the Resolution ceremony. The ritual eliminated the society's responsibility of caring for the elderly, with an age of sixty being selected so that those dying could say goodbye to their loved ones while still in full possession of their faculties; it was believed that just randomly picking an age to die was too heartless.
