Current consent frameworks, designed for living patients, create structural barriers to assembling diverse training data. Death meaningfully shifts the ethical risk\u2013benefit calculus, substantially reducing harms, employment discrimination, insurance denial, social stigma, that presuppose a living subject. This creates a unique opportunity for individuals to contribute their health data posthumously through informed, opt-in consent established during life.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n
