In South Korea, Korea Life Consulting Co. has started staging mock funerals, encouraging those who participate to write a will, dress in traditional garments, and are nailed in a coffin for 15 minutes. There's even the ceremonial dirt sprinkling that takes place. By using the phrase "well-dying" (a purposeful juxtaposition of the "well-being" fad that is taking over America), supporters say it's a good way for people to prepare what they will leave behind, and what the ramifications will be, if they die suddenly. Detractors just think it's a way for some people to make money off the scheme. So, what do you think?
