Yup, there is why I said most of the sorceress may have died in a natural way but some other died in an unnatural way. But if old age can't claim a sorceress, do you really think the rates of an accident happening to a sorceress is so frequently? So all sorceress died from an unnatural death?

So I think that the Sorcersess Power/Curse isn't gotten rid of so easily as 'death'
I will said it is already enough. Enough in a sense that they had lived with the curse for their whole life, and if they do have extended life span, means worse. And it is only a peaceful death that they wanted, why can't they have it? Taking the curse along with them to the other world mean them will be living with the curse for eternity. They had lived with the curse for a life time, why can't they have peace afterlife? This is like a normal humans having regrets before death and by fufilling the regrets let him die in peace. It is not selfish to give up the curse nor noble to take it with you.

But whether they NEED or WANT to pass their power is still unknown.

The Sorceresses' lifespan is a questionmark, and so I feel it doesn't make the R=U theory impossible.
That is why I am curious on whether they have extended life span after receiving Hyne's power. Because I have no evidence whether they do or not do.

But most of the stuff we are discussing here doens't have evidence or anything, that's why I said earlier on there won't be a good conclusion.....

Still, if there ARE other sorceresses, they're most likely irrelevant.
They did merge as one didn't they?
Anyway, it could mean Adel to receive Rinoa's sorceress power like how Rinoa is going to receive Adel's power after Squall and CO bump her off.
