I suppose my question to you is why, precisely, we should care.

You'll come back with some sort of pitiful cry about murder and the death of a sacred creature, which I'm sure are deeply tragic events in your highly esteemed opinion, but the truth of the matter is that dying for another's immortality is just as valid a death as any other, and arguably one that's less pointless than most in this lifetime will suffer. Very few lives matter in the end, after all.

But say that I choose to humor you and pretend that we're at all concerned with ethics. Fine. Most of your revulsion seems more centered on the notion that rebirth into immortality is viscerally wrong somehow. Perhaps every magical child is taught that death is permanent, where you're from, but that doesn't mean it must be so for all of us.
