I think that coming to understand death fully will help Westernized society greatly. Religious zealots would no longer be able to wrangle a nation by exploiting the citizenry's fear of God (which is really a fear of death). Coming to understand the true neutrality (not good, not evil) of suicide, IMO, will help those that hold warped ideas about death to see that it's just one of many things happening in the world.
Exactly!
