I kept it simple by sticking to one premise: What can be observed?

It's common sense, that the future cannot be known. So any conclusions about death are pure speculations.
Furthermore it can be said, that it is not possible to observe the own death. As long as there is an observing, there is Life. What for to dig deeper in this direction?

So, if it is not possible to go forward in time, then let's go back in time to a state of not-being, that must have been there before birth.
Can at any point an event of coming into being (birth) be observed?
Following this track, it may be revealed that an event called "birth" is an idea and that one was never born . If never born, what could die?

Going further .... it leads to the question:  If never born, then what does 'being' mean?
Obviously "being" is not an absolute as long as there can be a state of "not-being".
I call this point the "Holy dilemma", because it asks for slaughtering the last holy cow, the "I am". ( "And God answered  'I am that I am' "; 'I think therefore I am' , etc. etc. )

What's left is .....  a yummy beef steak to be enjoyed anytime !
