Comment on Ask HN: Do you think inheritance should be illegal?

Comments

1. Why would you say it is 'unfair' of me to be able to decide who gets the benefit of my lifes work when I pass on?

That's the rational. I earned it, so I decide who gets it. Usually my kids. YMMV from country to country, and state to state yadda.

2. Why not mind your own business. I worked for it, and I'll decide what to do with it. If you'd like to decide the fate of vast wealth, than go earn vast wealth.

3. You could even have a system that prevents people from whinging about how unfair life is on the internet whilst some people don't even have benefit of a decent soapbox, but it wouldn't make much sense either.
