Re: [privacy] Want a beer at the pub? Have your prints taken

[Bryan <bryan.madhatter () gmail com>]

The suicide argument semi-made sense to prevent people from committing
suicide to pass
along an estate or stop being a burden on their family by taking their life
once they had a
terminal disease, were unable to care for themselves, etc.  It's bizarre
logic in a way since
you can't punish a dead person, but it does deny the passing along of
property/valuables
since the act that made said transfer possible occurred during the
transmission of a crime.

Bryan
