In attempts to deal with increasing anxiety, family members, colleagues, and friends deposit DNA samples in a bank in the event that somebody is “disappeared” in punishment for a crume. This deposit is used to regenerate a person in the event of their casting away.
Supplicants for a missing person must post their appeal publicly before the extra-governmental town hall hearing. The final judgement is also posted publicly so people know whether any regenerated citizen they come across is illegally alive.
