Not only is that silly (and insanely complex), but a massive invasion of privacy.
Also, it implies suicide is something that isn't spur-of-the-moment. It usually is and is easily foiled.
Don't get me wrong, I think healthy people who commit suicide are a bunch of fucking quitters and stupid assholes, but they have that choice. I don't want to give government ANY. FUCKING. SAY. in the issue for the same reason I oppose the death penalty -- They should not have the power of life and death over citizens. It is a horrible precedent to set.
So, what's your procedure? This?
1) Visit the Department of Mortuary Vacation office (because if it wasn't the DMV, it would become too popular)
2) Fill out the appropriate forms (MV-72 to turn in your Living License, and an MV-104 Change of Address form... to the cemetery), with two forms of ID, a statement from your accountant that you don't owe anyone money and permission from the Department of Social Services for your children.
3) Find out after three hours in line you forgot your semen sample.
4) Go to the bathroom (because just whipping it out would be inappropriate) and finally make it to the counter again after another three hours.
5) Find out they don't take Visa or checks for this transaction, so you have to bum the cash from somebody else who is now looking longingly at your MV-72 and your semen sample because they've been standing in line to renew their registration for the last six hours.
6) ???
7) Profit.
Yeah. I'll stick with a $20 junker shotgun that only needs to be fired once.
