Ananova - Mayor wants to ban death: "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."

Hey, it's about time somebody outlawed death. Let's all move to Brazil and live forever.

This is a great privatopian marketing concept for a common interest development, particularly those with covenants requiring all permanent residents to be age 55 or older.
Call it the Eternal Life HOA and include a CC&R provision like that of Biritiba-Mirim barring death by any unit owner. But what to do with violators? Foreclosure, of course. :) Eventually the HOA and its community assn industry vendors will own all of the properties.
How about if you break the law by dying, you get the death penalty? It is sort of like homicide, after all.
