Yeah, I think that’s a pretty legitimate concern. Just because it doesn’t end someone’s entire existence doesn’t mean we should start a race to get there.

If someone jumps the gun and decides it’s not a big deal anymore, they’re forgetting they’re taking that person’s chance to get out of here. Maybe that doesn’t matter to everyone, I know, but it’s still cruel.
It's cruelty no matter how you look at it. We're already dead, sure, but putting someone through it again?

...it just comes down to how badly they want to go back, I think. What they're willing to do to try to get there. We're in hell, Date, I'm sure plenty of us have killed before, I'm no exception.
Some people would argue it doesn't matter because we're already dead.
[ nothing about his body language suggests he agrees with that. ]
There are other ways to get to hell. But-- [ he shrugs. ] I don't disagree people must be desperate to get back. I have things I want to get back to. I'm not so big-headed as to assume I'm the only one -- I'm sure you do too.
Pretty sure most of us do. A few exceptions, yes, but-- I think overall, there'd be no point offering some sort of chance if enough of us weren't willing to take it.

That's only bound to kickstart a series of events no one was going to be able to predict.
