Thank you for the quotes, Filiz. You are right that I am talking only
about the physical TV set. And my comment that "perhaps I understand" was
related to the sort of quotes that you gave.

Of course, in one sense, "humans never die". Buried or cremated, they
change form, and in some way, feed the new cycle of life.

But does not there need to be a difference bertween the way we "treat"
living systems vs "non-living" systems? For instance, do we give more
respect to "non-living" weapons systems or to living "human systems"?
