Ah, I thought he was suggesting suicide by cop. It’s very easy to pull off in the US, depending on your wealth, age, and racial background. But unfortunately, most life insurance policies now have clauses which restrict payout if death occurs “during the commission of a crime”, which is almost certainly what the unsurance company would claim you were doing in order to get the cops to shoot you.
So suicide is not only legal it is encouraged. They must have a bad population problem. Maybe their medical is so good (bring back the intact dead) and don’t believe in birth control (big families) has lead them down this weird path. Killing others is wrong, but killing yourself is perfectly legal. That would make for an interesting story exploring the ramifications and psychology and religious impacts on a society similar and yet different from any we know.
