I completely agree with you. Sometimes, when I think back to what we have said in class, it makes me feel guilty/ashamed of our insensitivity. But at the same time, I think we should just remember that everyone in class has had their share of experiences with death, all different from one another, and we can't expect everyone to cater to our emotions. Maybe that's why there has been this lack of emotion during discussion--we're not talking about/relating to personal experience, but rather the context of the class, as you pointed out. 

I think that if you disagree with something someone has said, or you find it insensitive/offensive (either personal experience or whatever), you should speak up and say so. We will all benefit from another viewpoint and may even make us think twice about what we just said.
