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.
Creo que os Torajanos recoñecen socialmente e expresan culturalmente o que moitos de nós sentimos como verdadeiro a pesar da xeralizada aceptación da definición biomédica da morte, o que significa que as nosas relacións con outros humanos, o seu impacto na nosa realidade social, non cesan có fin dos procesos físicos do corpo, senón que hai un periodo de transición polo que a relación entre o vivo e o morto transfórmase pero non termina.
