After reading the “Death after Death” chapter, do you think being immortal is a good thing or a bad thing? Would our identity change drastically, if we knew we had no chance of death? Explain.
Why do you think people believe in spirits revisiting such as those in the video? Is there a need to believe? Are spirits another version of immortality? Why or why not?

Do you see these myths/stories as a representation of our questions about the afterlife? Are your own beliefs/questions depicted?
