And my point, Ann, is that that is just your opinion. Your perception of death cites that death itself is a far weightier matter than the appearnce of death. However, whether thinking otherwise 'belittles' the deathfic genre as a whole, is purely dependent on the perception of the individual.
In other words, you can't impose your belief on others in this way. You can state it, but you can't impose it, and you surely can't demean the views of others.
