Let me raise another point, that i'm sure someone else has raised but i'm the lazy type.
Are we really, really sure that people who die "in game" die "in real life"? I mean, the system seems very closed, people inside have no ways to be contacted from the outside (so far, that is) so they only have the word of Kayaba about the fact that the game kills for real. That concern was also raised by a character in a previous ep, but everyone quickly dismissed.
Of course, nobody will try to test that theory because what if it's real? Of course the anime told us so in the end of EP 1, but can you really trust anime?
