Trimming off the rest of this post is unnecessary.

I will guarantee anonymity except in cases of blatant abuse.
I will achieve anonymity by tallying the results in
uncorrelated tabulations and then deleting the emails.

tended that Man shall be purified of his dross and shall live
at peace with others and with himself. The populations
shall be stable, neither rising nor falling and this without
warlike intent, for a country with a rising population must
resort to warfare in order to obtain more living space. We
would have people know how a body may be discarded like

an old robe for which the wearer has no further use, and
passed on to another who needs such a body for some
special purpose."
I started involuntarily. Yes, I knew all about this, but
I had not expected to have to write about it. The whole
idea frightened me.
The old Abbot smiled briefly as he said: "I see that this
idea, this task, finds no favor with you, my Brother. Yet
there are recorded many, many instances of 'possession'.
That so many such cases are regarded as evil, or black
magic is unfortunate and merely reflects the attitude of
those who know little about the subject. Your task will be
to write so that those who have eyes may read, and those
who are ready may know."
"Suicides," I thought. "People will be rushing to commit
suicide, either to escape from debt and troubles or to do a
favor to others in providing a body."
