english: I think that Torajans socially recognize and culturally express what many of us feel to be true despite the widespread acceptance of the biomedical definition of death, and that is that our relationships with other humans, their impact on our social reality, doesn't cease with the termination of the physical processes of the body, that there's a period of transition as the relationship between the living and the dead is transformed but not ended.
non_english: Mislim da Toradžani društveno prepoznaju i kulturno iskazuju ono što većina nas oseća da je tačno, uprkos široko rasprostranjenoj prihvaćenosti biomedicinske definicije smrti, a to je da naše veze sa drugim ljudima, njihov uticaj na našu društvenu realnost, ne prestaju završetkom fizičkih procesa tela; da se period prelaska kao veza između života i smrti transformiše, ali se ne završava.
