Contingencies for abort at various stages isn't all that unusual or interesting. Heck, I do that before I go fly my 600lb glider.

I don't doubt that they have contingencies for deaths on board, though. I'm sure everything has a plan. Sort of the space equivalent of the US military having plans to invade Canada and Mexico, except more likely to be needed.
