I can't see it ever being practical in our overly litigious culture though. Imagine how hefty the waivers, affidavits, and notarized documents would have to be if a disagreement arose between a provider and a client's survivors? Even if all of this were handled, there would still be run of the mill impropriety on top. As a right it seems like a no brainer, as a service (which is all we'd actually be talking about in the end) it would stretch our system of law. It's probably doable, but I don't know that we'd actually stick with it long enough to iron it out.

Can you imagine the backlash from the religious right? (Is it really necessary to qualify religious with "right wing" anymore. Are there really any other kind?)
