Such a death is highly desirable. It is, indeed, the way preferred in all fifty states to snuff high-cost hospital patients, inconvenient relatives and other useless eaters. It is also an excellent way for heirs to get their legacy a bit early from grandpa and grandma or mom and dad.

It is also an excellent way to combat global warming. A living body produces an average of 400 btu's per hour. Think of it!

Also, each body that is alive in this country consumes an average of 21 lbs. per day of evil coal due to their use of electricity. A win win situation if I ever seen one.

[T'wit]

We consume 21 pounds of coal per day yet give off a measly 400 btu per hour? That's so inefficient, it's obvious that humans are black holes, sucking up energy and causing global cooling.

I hardly need tell you, this is a global catastrophe. The seas will recede and we'll have no harbors. WHERE ARE WE GOING TO DOCK CRUISE SHIPS??? The oceans will shrink. Our coasts will move out further and further. We won't have any beaches. No beach blanket bingo. No girls in bikinis playing beach volleyball. Worse, how will we get out to floating casino ships beyond the 12-mile limit if the coast keeps moving out to the 12-mile limit with us?

I can't see any good coming of this unless global cooling can stop global warming. But that's doubtful. We'll get both.
