Quoting Jon: "Perhaps you are aware of someone who won't die?"
I haven't run across any of those, but I'm aware of many people who will cross frontiers before before they die.

Did people always fight death as they do today, or is today's (American, anyhow) attitude that nobody should ever die a new thing?
My feeling is that death was pretty much universally accepted until the "Medical Industrial Complex" decided that inventing new medications and appliances to keep people inhaling and exhaling longer was preferable.
