Philosophically speaking, death is the only true personal experience in our lives. Birth? not very personal for the child. But death? it's yours and yours only, you can't even die for someone else.

Well yes, it’s the only thing that you can experience entirely from your own perspective. No one else gets your experience of death. Other people may be there to witness it, but they don’t feel what you feel.
Although I would argue that you can die for other people. That’s kinda the nature of sacrificing your life for others. Such as in war or people who run into buildings on fire and die saving lives. But ultimately you’re the one who experiences that.
true! although sacrificing your life in war doesn't make anyone else immortal. They would all still die (maybe delay their deaths, arguably some random dude in woopwoop was still not threatened by a war on the other side of the world but I digress)
No, they’re definitely not making anyone immortal. At least beyond people remembering the sacrifice being made. I imagine most people would appreciate the sacrifice.

Fair point!
