Even worse, what if you are at a friend's house (say,
replacing their light bulbs) when you slash your
thumb?  Your fancy dancy prerecording will just send
the ambulance to your home instead of where you are
bleeding to death.

Also, if you can't remember your own address, how can
you remember to hit play on a recording device?  I
seem to remember I didn't have any hands free to dig a
recoding device out of a pocket: one hand was bleeding
and the other was frantically trying to stop the flow
of blood.  I had one finger on the bleeding hand free
to dial the phone.
