If you have children who in turn plan on having children, then you might be inclined to die eventually in order to secure more resources for your progeny. Similarly if you have close friends with children.
Of course, I'd prefer to incentivize having fewer children and make it harder to have children as a means to control population. If death were necessary, I'd recommend a lottery (assuming there are insufficient volunteers).
