With all the mantra of "if it will save just one life," it shows that way too many people are afraid of death. To the point that they think that it must be mitigated at all cost (though with many of the same people abortion is apparently a-okay).
It reminds me of a Shadiveristy video where he mentioned children's songs being rather morbid, showing that the attitude about death has not always been one that is in constant distress. People way back accepted death far better than we do today.
Death is always inevitable, and it should always be understood as such. The songs of Ring around the Rosie and Rock-a-Bye baby were rather lighthearted about the idea (a baby falling from a tree could indeed be deadly). But today, if you have one person die, people think the whole world should stop to try to prevent that.
But what if, just think for a moment, they were going to die and there was nothing that could be done to prevent it? Should we panic over what we will never be able to stop?
"Tell me where I can escape death: discover for me the country, show me the men to whom I must go, whom death does not visit. Discover to me a charm against death. If I have not one, what do you wish me to do? I cannot escape from death. Shall I not escape from the fear of death, but shall I die lamenting and trembling? For the origin of perturbation is this, to wish for something, and that this should not happen."

Things which are unavoidable, and which cannot be further mitigated, are not things that we should rightly worry about. If we worry about them anyway, it means that we are misunderstanding them.
"When death appears an evil, we ought to have this rule in readiness, that it is fit to avoid evil things, and that death is a necessary thing. For what shall I do, and where shall I escape it?"
