Why would they need external encouragement for that?
- groffee 4y agoUnfortunately there's been a few cases where families have basically killed off older relatives to get their inheritance early. So conceptually reverse life insurance is a great idea, but I can't see how it'd work in practice.
- lolsal 4y agoConsider a scenario where you don't want to be alive, like dementia, or cancer, etc.
- xg15 4y agoUh, okay. Then I guess the scheme should motivate my family to keep me alive against my explicit will, even if it makes no medical sense and would only prolong my suffering. And that's supposed to be a good thing?
