Recently I have been arguing with OttelSpy25 over the nature of regeneration; the reason this started is because I believe that "Death" is not a proper heading for the end of the individual pages of the Doctor's incarnations. The Doctor doesn't die, he regenerates. OS25 says otherwise. Our discussion can be found here and here, but since we haven't reached an agreement, we decided it would be best to open up the discussion to the wiki at large to discuss the matter. So? Does the Doctor die and then regenerate, or does he regenerate to avoid death? That's the question OS25 have been discussing, and whether it is thus more appropriate to say that an incarnation "died" or "regenerated." (If this is in the wrong section, I apologize; I've never needed to do this before.)
