You are consistently using the self.attribute for setting/changing values and just the bare attribute for reading values, except this one reader. Maybe change this one to !alive?

@mikegee what's your preference for defining attributes? ivars or using self as done here? And why? :D

I prefer defining the attribute methods and using them exclusively. Instance variables with typos raise no error, Ruby happily returns nil. Method calls with typos raise NoMethodError. I prefer feedback as early as possible.

On this particular line, I suggest removing the self. prefix but continuing to call the reader method.
