When I used to work in teaching, we were continually being hassled by our managers to make ridiculous amounts of copious notes, handouts and lesson plans of everything we did so that "If something happens to any of you, someone else can step in and pick up the pieces".

My response to that was the same as to this article: I know it's a bit selfish and all that, but I'd like to think there would be at least a w-e-e-e-e bit of a hiccup in the smooth running of the world around me, when I shuffle of this mortal coil and join the choir invisible.

Kinda sad to think it might be such a seamless transition, no-one even noticed I was gone.
