I dunno if it's a Should Noy Be, but it was an interesting thought that occurred. Consider the vampires in Buffy. Consider the immortals in Highlander. In both cases, you have a large group of sentient beings, blessed with potentially eternal spans, who continually make choices almost certain to wind up killing them over the medium term. The vamps voluntarily attack the Slayer, and the Immortals fight to the death. Surviving choices like that over the medium-to-long-term requires that you be both lucky *and* good.
Throw in Buffy's little issues with the death-fetish, kicking in partially because Slayers just aren't *supposed* to live that long. Are Slayers immortal? The world may never know.
It's almost as if Death, having been thwarted unnaturally, seeks actively to draw them in through other means.
Semi-fusion with Final Destination.
