Hello everyone,

wats that word used when im trying to say that they died for a reason and yet no one has learnt from it?

for example someone died because of a certain action, and years later people have not learnt from that action and still practice it today... millions of people are still dying... how would i describe the deaths of that someone who died?

the death was... its not ignored.... not unjustified... its similiar in meaning.... im not sure...

we should be looking at the death as an example and prevent future occurances

^ Futile is a good one, or 'in vain' or 'to no avail'
