Heh.  Well, only Iluvatar has full power over life and death in the
Tolkein universe, although Mandos can release fallen elves from his
halls, and the Valar have some power over who recieves the gift of
immortality and the gift of death.  It's important to realize death is a
gift to mankind by Iluvatar, not a curse.

Well he can take it back :^P j/k
