Brazil: Mayor wants to ban death
Ananova [UK]
"The mayor of a Brazilian town is trying to bring in a law making it
illegal for residents to die. Mayor Roberto Pereira da Silva, of
Biritiba-Mirim, came up with the idea because the town's only cemetery
is full. He wants to bring in a law that would see relatives of people
who die before their time face fines or even jail. The law would make it
an offence for the town's 28,000 citizens to not look after their health
properly. Mayor Pereira da Silva said there was no way of extending the
cemetery or building a new one." (12/11/05)
Dear Mike,
Think about it...perfect Libertarian solution for San Francisco's
high public health costs. Leave it to us Brazilians....
