Let's Legislate Dying There's a town in Brazil running out of space in their cemetaries. They have lots of rivers and what isn't river is The Amazon Rainforest, which no one who lives there is apparently allowed to use thanks to helpful enviromentalists in other countries. What to do? Well, if you are a government bureaucrat the obvious solution is to ban death. Makes sense to me. 70% of people die in their beds. So I would go one step further and ban beds. Or at least never sleep in my bed. Sleep on the couch instead. Presto, I automatically live longer because I can't die in my bed if I never sleep there. So I am with this guy in Brazil. Let's ban death. And Emo haircuts while we're at it. But death first.
