i'd have to disagree with frankspencer
if you'd spent your entire childhood in and out of hospitals, having dangerous and, for the most part, entirely experimental surgery, not to mention hearing your mother screaming at your father "but it could kill her!", you'd soon develop a deep sense of your own mortality. i dealt with all of my death issues at an early age, which is why it doesn't bother me now.
