Would that be Blood Atonement? Gary Gilmore wanted to be shot due to this particular Mormon teaching (his mom was a very dysfunctional Mormon). Most modern LDS do not discuss this topic much (tends to really get a less than positive reaction for some reason). Polygamists do use this as a threat according to Tapestry of Polygamy.

Yes, I think that's what they call it.
Interesting. Didn't know that about Gilmore.
I can imagine how popular is to talk about. Especially if you're a Jack Mormon amongst a bunch of rabid TRUE BELIEVERS.
