Sure, but the Darwin awards aren't actually about human evolution. That's just the conceit, the actual purpose is entertainment. So criteria are adjusted to make them either looser or stricter than simple evolution would require, in order to satisfy the entertainment demands.My understanding is, once you've perpetuated your genes unto the next generation, it doesn't much matter what you do with your body after that. The primary goal of your existence has already been fulfilled, Darwin-wise.
