That reminds me of a story I read wherein medical technology had
advanced to the point where the recently dead could be brought back to
life.  This resulted in an increased murder rate accompanied by an
almost total apathy toward the crime.  The police would allow murder
victims, after being resurected, to seek "retribution" against their
murderers.  The main character, after killing his wife's murderer, was
said to have felt better about it than any other murder he had
committed, since this murderer's people did not believe in medical
resurection.

An amusing line from the story (paraphrased):

"Johnson screwed up the Collins report, so I had to kill him
again."
