In the same way we say when people die things like: "he is at peace now" or "he is no longer suffering" or "he is no longer in pain," - is it also taboo to say things? Are we defining a person and saying a person is better dead than alive if we say about somebody who has had cancer and multiple surgeries for many years that "he is free from suffering," or "free from pain?"
This is getting ridiculous. We can't be so careful about what we say, so worried that somebody somewhere will be offended, that we all express ourselves in the same way and are all constantly worrying we might say the wrong thing. If people are offended this easily, get over yourselves.
