And if you don't think our world doesn't think death is unnatural I direct you to the People vs. Terri Schaivo.
And the tens of thousands of instances less sensational than that.
Modern medicine makes death unnatural and unwelcome.
Fine if you don't believe in religion or god, doesn't change my argument.

Death is normal. Prolonging it (whether at 17 or 87) is not.
