Death is a moving line, even today. There's a reason doctors don't declare death until there's no way to revive a patient. Using that same logic, if there's a way to revive Neelix / Tuvox, are they dead? It's going to come down to how you personally define death.

    This is true but hard to argue within the universe as we just don't have the info and there are in universe contradictions about transporters. Been a while since I saw the episode but for me - 'nonexistentance' is close enough to 'dead' that Tuvix should have been allowed to live.
