Monetising death

Corporate greed probably knows no bounds, though - as I often look to bring together rather than split apart - I often prefer to think otherwise. 

Nevertheless, the essentially self-serving nature of such entities has been well documented. 

This next story, however, goes quite beyond the pale - even for me.  How to monetise death in one easy lesson.  I wonder if Wal-Mart's subsidiaries do the same elsewhere in the world.  It'd be nice to know if they did.  Driving down prices at the checkouts by benefiting from "dead peasant" life insurance policies would definitely be a no-no in my book.  More on this awful subject and the mindsets it uncovers in this short video - and thanks to Brian Moylan for digging it up.
