I didn't say death was always a conscious decision.

? Genetics? What are you referring to besides her choice of body? Interesting point, though what I think about that is probably different from you. That is to say, I believe we choose our families for the experiences we wish to have while here.

Translation: any life that is shortened is wasted? Perhaps this is just the living's interest in keeping the person here? Why is it a stretch to believe that an entity may incarnate to experience a few years and purposely choose a family that would lead to such an "end"?

I think you're getting at the word victim and...while it may boggle the adult mind, children are not little people developing a personality. They are coming into tune with this place and some take longer than others. Some are faster in their approach, others average, and still a few that take longer than average. I read that the oldest souls/entities/personalities (whatever you wish to call them) can take the longest to "adjust" to their physical form. Reminds me of how Einstein was up in the years to begin talking. Regardless, this case really is about belief - that of spirituality and medicine. Both can be harmful, both beneficial.
