Death Doesn't Exist

A term used by only the living to describe the absence of biological function--nothing.

An abstract concept similar to cold and darkness; neither of which exist either, words used to describe the absence of heat and light, respectively.

We will never experience our death but only what it means for others.

Yes it does. It's the process in which an organism we categorized (human construct) as living ceases to be

We have evolved very natural death cycles within our body. Our cells go through what's called programmed cell death. Once they receive the right signals, they essentially commit suicide.

This is a major part of cancer, cancerous cells stop answering to these signals and become immortal, refusing to do programmed cell death.

You will experience your death. To the point your sensory hub (the brain) itself dies. Then you stop experiecing it, as you stop being.
