Hay. You all know that guy Allen the one who died of CF. Well I just wondered something here. He wrote a death document that changed most of the people on starcraft legacy.com or whatever. But the question is. Is writing a death document really nececcary? Like for example. Your 80 and your on the virge to dying. Is writing a death document really going to increase the chances of people knowing you better or are you just gona rot in that ol'tomb with no support except zombification. This also got my attention on that episode of futurama were knowone respected him and he built a monument of himself. I found that could be a waste of effort for people of the years to come. So here are some questions I want you to answer.
Is writing a death document of yourself needed?
How could people react to that sitiuation?
Will it make people know you more that when your already dead?
What may other peoples view see on this?

Go on, get out! Last words are for fools who haven't said enough!
Who: Karl Marx, asked by his housekeeper what his last words were.
If writing one makes you feel at peace, then do it. If you're writing it to gain recognition, then it's a pointless waste of paper.
The only significant effects such a document would have are to put your mind at rest, and perhaps bring some sort of consolation to your loved ones.

When I'm 80, on my deathbed with my family and loved ones around me, my last words will be:
"Where are the hookers?"
"Where are the hookers?"

Letting people know you're dead is useless and stupid.
Letting people know you lived is a challenging thing, and is thus a respectful feat.

I always think of death letters as letting people know things that you could not tell them while you lived, so it's like a last resort to let people know about your unfinished business.

That would be when I release any ideas and plans I had for the future, the real ones, genious ideas. Stuff that could make someone famous if they do them. 
The trouble is, is that I plan on doing them before this time happens, in which case, telling about them would only seem like bragging. (Which in itself is not a bad idea on your deathbed.)

I think it would be a good step towards acceptance, the final of the traditional five stages of loss.

That's how I see it.
Like if I were to die right now there are some people that I would want to notify them of things. So it seems important to write one, unless if at all times you have all your loose ends tied.

the death documents brings psychological peace to people before they die. IT is not a waste of paper. It makes the dying person have hope that people remaining here will always remember them. I think it is rather unnecessary, but it could spark some peace unto the poor old souls...
