'Death' and 'life' are names for things that we have no certainty of. Thus, all preconceptions are unlikely to be correct. Like 'light' and 'gravity', humans must create labels for what they think they observe, but cannot really explain.
Everything we are composed of has always been here, is here now, and always will be here. DNA has existed continuously from its beginning, by our terms it is immortal. We are part of all that, so the appearance of coming and going may not be anything other than our voracious egos unable to accept their ephemeral nature.
The universe and everything it represents is so vast, how can anyone think he/she can encompass it with the tiny humanity society teaches us to have? Our consciousness is bound to limitations that are excruciatingly limited, when there is just as much evidence that all exists in it rather than the reverse.
In any case, there is nothing to fear from death; either something of our awareness continues and we understand or we simply go out, like a fire. There is nothing to be frightened of in non-existence. After all, were you afraid before conception and birth?
