Or maybe:

"All of those, including changing your preferences in icecream, constitute enough change to be considered death. It is theoretically possible to keep a human alive in a controlled environment but this has never been the case in the history of your species."

I wouldn't say a change in ice cream preference constitutes a death. People's taste buds change as they get older.

Or if you do say getting older is a younger person's death, then it probably isn't that strict definition of death that you're concerned about, as you don't mourn people getting older.
