For exactly this reason, I don't distribute information about living individuals to anyone (and I don't ask for it, either). They may give that information to me anyway, but that doesn't mean they want me to give it to anyone else. Some might be OK with that, but how are you going to separate that from the others? I figure that anyone living is going to be able to look at my information on those who have passed on, and plug themselves in.
