What do slave owners do to the slaves when the slaves are too old and too sick?
Unfortunately, slaves were considered property, so there was not much attention paid to their health and well-being. In fact, they were only considered valuable as long as they could properly perform the duties their owners expected of them. A slave who was unable to work, whether due to serious illness or old age, was considered a liability. There is evidence of a few "humane" owners (if an owner of slaves can ever be called humane) who kept their aged slaves around and gave them less strenuous work; and if a slave was especially valuable for some unique job (like caring for the master's children), there might be some medical treatment offered in case of an illness. But for the most part, once you could no longer do the work, you were either killed or allowed to die from your illness, at which time you were replaced.
