A DISCUSSION ABOUT THE ‘DEATH GENE’ FROM THEOLOGICAL AND GENETIC’ POINT OF VIEW

THIS PAPER IS TRYING TO PUT TOGETHER TWO DIFFERENT RESEARCHES, FROM THEOLOGY AND FROM GENETICS, ABOUT A GENERAL AND UNDETERMINED TOPIC, DEATH. IT IS UNDETERMINED BECAUSE NO ONE CAN SAY SOMETHING DEMONSTRABLE AND UNIVOCAL ABOUT IT, SINCE NO PERSON ALIVE CAN CROSS OVER THE EDGE OF LIFE AND COME BACK FROM THE DOMAIN OF DEATH WITH INFORMATION ABOUT IT. BUT WE CAN DISCUSS, NEVERTHELESS, THINGS THAT ARE OBVIOUS AND POSSIBLE TO BE REASONABLY INFERRED ABOUT DEATH EVEN BY LIVING BEINGS. IN THIS REGARD, THEOLOGY WILL PROVIDE THE MAINLINE OF WHAT IS TO BE KNOWN AS DEATH FOR RELIGION IN GENERAL, WHILE GENETICS WILL TRY TO COME WITH ITS RESEARCH TO SUSTAIN OR CONTRADICT THE GENERAL PREMISE: DEATH IS NOT AN ONTOLOGICAL BEHAVIOR OF LIVING MATTER, BUT AN IMPOSED ATTRIBUTE AFTER THE SIN OCCURRED INTO THE WORLD.
