Don’t give them ideas.

Henry Stickmin, I hereby sentence you to death. You are to raise the money for the required medical procedure by slave work for the next 75 years.

I mean, they can't really force you to work in that case. Why wouldn't you just refuse to work? Or just hunger strike?

Ah but it doesn't violate the conventions if we convince people it's not torture but rather medical treatment!

They can force you to work.

Slavery is still legal in the US as a punishment under the 14 amendment

I get to work, for free?!

Possibly dark question.

So if you kill yourself, your family has to pay for your funeral.

But if the city/state/country kills you, free burial?

If your body goes unclaimed then it's up to whatever local entity to dispose of it. Most places cremate.

If you want to watch a dark documentary about how dead people without a next of kin are handled. => https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0342180/

Not for research? Like testing for car crashes?

Not without consent (before your death obviously..). Last time I checked I found that donating your body to science is surprisingly difficult.

No, they're turned into Halloween decorations

Wait, did they ever do car crash tests with real bodies!?
