Some people don't need training to not flinch at death. If you know that death is just part of life and not something to make abig deal out of, then you should be good to go for the most part. Some people even enjoy it. And yes, people can hold their breath untill they pass out. It's called will power. But how many people can hold their breath AFTER they have passed out? Once the mind is not running things anymore, instinct always kicks in. So you can train yourself to fight instinct, but I don't think you can break it. Humans have lots of instincts, all relating to survival and breeding, but right and wrong do not fall under that heading. They are simply ideas we've been conditioned with for so long that people mistake them for such.
