CMV:It should be illegal to write an autobiography unless you are 40 or older.

I don't think it's very common for most people to be able to write an objective autobiography. I think at least 40 is a number where the majority of people have stopped going through major changes in their life. I also see it as the age where most people can reflect on their life properly. A lot of people don't hit their emotional maturity until their 40's so wouldn't that be a good time to write an autobiography? I'm not saying younger people can't write autobiographies but I think it should be illegal unless you're 40 or older.<br><br>EDIT:By illegal I mean there should be a law preventing the sale of books presented as autobiographies. People can still write them and share them if they please.
