I think killing Mal was mostly a joke.
Frankly, I'm not too enamored of Whedon's penchant for killing off beloved characters.
We lose loved ones all too frequently.
(Or at least I'm getting to the age where I do.)
I'm looking for entertainment, not reality.
Making good entertainment is a balancing act between un-reality for fun (for example: the crew commits crime without killing innocent people) and true to life touches so it doesn't feel un-interestingly fake (Joss' character interaction is top-notch).
Obviously I'm a "Wash Lives" guy.
Mike
PS:
The crew put Wash in River's cryo-box to take him home for burial. Along the way, they are informed by Simon that the same medical tech that produced Tracy's hopped up internal organs ("million credit meat" in Tracy's words) are accessible at Government reseaerch facilities. Using a bit of improvisation and Book's ident card, they sneak Wash in in place of a politico who bumped a deserving recipient (ala PA's governor Casey who bumped everybody down the list for his transplant). Alliance bashing, witty dialog and some gunplay ensues. The Firefly 'verse returns to normal.

No way, Mike...
No dodging brain death :)
Even if you somehow tech a way out of that,
the 'verse would still be missing Book,
for whom them fancy organs would be inapplicable.
