It is difficult to see why anyone would be against the idea or for that
matter adopt an attitude that it isn't up to x, y ........ or zn to think
of a solution but just this group.

Here's two...

I steal your phone, look in contact book under ICE, phone up, say you have
been killed.....I do this for fun....maybe its a group of chav 'mates' who
would just borrow your phone and do it for a laugh.

Or, I phone and say you have been killed, ask for your address and can you
come to identify body.....I do this to get your relative to leave house so I
can burgle it.

[Both of these type of events took place after the tsunami if you think I am
being pessimistic]

Given the number of stolen phones (a million a year??), compared to the
small number of times this facility would be used _and_ be useful*, this
could easily and likely cause much more trouble than it would fix.
