[It wasn't that Danny didn't want to think about ghosts as having been people. They were. He knew that better than anyone, considering the way most scientists back home thought ghosts were things not even capable of feeling pain.
But... as long as he just thought about ghosts as ghosts, and not actually dead people, then he could keep thinking of himself as being half-ghost instead of half-dead.
Maybe it was the same thing in the end, and maybe it was lying to himself a little bit. If Jazz ever found out, she'd probably call it unhealthy avoidance behavior and try to get him to talk about his feelings or some such junk.
But there was something really depressing about being fifteen and already half-dead. ]

....Yeah, probably.
