No one has control over life and death, because it is decided by God. However, there are some places in the world that do not want to give preference to the law of nature. Today we will know about those 5 cities of the earth where dying is illegal. This may sound strange, but it is completely true.
Longyearbyen, the main city of Svalbard Island in Norway, has a 'no death policy'. This is not just because it is a remote location, the real issue is that the dead bodies buried here do not decompose due to extreme minus temperature. This is the reason why since 1950, the cemetery of this city has stopped burying new bodies.
The mayor of the French town of Cugnaux banned dying there after failing to get permission from the authorities to open a new cemetery. His method worked and then the authorities gave up and allowed the new cemetery.
The mayor of the medieval hill town of Sellia in Italy had to issue an order that forbade residents to fall ill and die within the city limits as a measure to combat the city's declining population. A law was made to punish those who did not take good care of themselves by imposing higher taxes.
According to Shinto religion, the Japanese island of Itsukushima is considered a sacred place. Until the year 1868, dying or giving birth was not allowed here. The island still has no cemetery or hospital.
The mayor of the French town of Le Lavandou had to impose a ban on executions in 2000 after a proposal for a new cemetery was rejected due to "environmental concerns". The mayor himself said the ban was "an absurd law to counter an absurd situation."
