this is not about wanting this is about companies taking advantage of vulnerable people who should be grieving. This can cause lasting psychological harm

you might as well be saying, if someone came to a drug maker, and wanted some heroine, and provided ingredients for heroine, and agreed to whatever costs were involved, isn't that entirely their business?

Im seeing a lot of reasons why you, or i, would not want such a service to exist.

What a person should or should not be doing is their business. Companies who can target vulnerable people would ideally be regulated.

Id much rather first go after payday advance companies with exorbant fees, or casinos, or high interest loans that individuals cant be expected to repay.
