Well I've effectively already done one - I rode brakeless for six weeks, didn't really like it, went back to riding with a brake. I only did it because the bike I had at the time had brucy's famous 'bastard' forks and I couldn't fit a front brake and didn't want to shell out for a clamp on rear brake.
I completely agree it's a personal decision, that's why there is no need to enforce it any further or legislate against it, unless there is proof otherwise.
If anyone cares:

Don't let the bit about being associated with the Blair Government put you off, much of the current Goverment's policies are based on 'because they think it's right', which is the very reason they are wrong.
