Ok, if it's not dead, then let me try death-like?

Status: offline 		"Athanasy" means "immortality."  Thanatos means "death," so athanasia means "the state of having no death."

"Euthanasia," which Ron mentioned, is obviously related.  It means literally "having a good death."

Other words from the same root are "thanatopsis" (which we've done), "thanatology," "thanatic," and so on.

Next one..."mandarinate"
