Great article. Would be better if the answers were written in a slightly more compassionate tone.

I think the tone is perfect.

- In questions, it represents a knee-jerk reaction of annoyance by a deathist who hasn't thought about this seriously or deeply.

- In answers, it represents an anti-deathist who is jaded after engaging in the debate hundreds of times, with almost every time the deathist being highly opinionated and yet completely lacking any convincing counter arguments.
