Neat little cyberpunk device but doesn't quite work in reality without some other foundational assumption changes for things like "actually somehow provides substansially better life insurance even if it may also be used to place a hit on you".
I was talking to the person doing my physical and he mentioned that most men he sees are being ‘nagged’ in to buying insurance by their wives after a baby.
I found that to be interesting. It’s ultra irresponsible to not have some coverage, and if I were on the other side, I would nag too.

Not sure how that panned out in the long run...

Easier to convince people who have a death wish / create terror on people rather than death.
Poisonous animals generally don't kill, even when they are about to die. It's the terror.
