    Except you’d be dying with unfinished debt. There is a reason (however misguided) that burial/cremation services post-humously extract money from the possession of the dead. Some cultures are so in debt that this is how debt slavery arises, the next of kin of the deceased must (legally-speaking in their nation, not morally) pay it off with their services. Not to mention debt is one of the (several) reasons why legal systems oppose self-destruction.
