In the tarot, the "Death" card is associated with death AND rebirth. This can be seen throughout such types of symbolism, perhaps our own minds as well. This would make sense, since any such symbolism is not meant for cat or monkey minds, but for human minds.
[So, death=rebirth in our minds]
We are here right now, so we have been brought into existence somehow, so we have been "born". We have already experienced this, and is the required position in order to do anything. For how could we do anything if we in no way existed?
[We exist, and is our default position]
It is human nature to take things for granted, or, put in other words, to "filter" out information which is constantly experienced. Since existence and coming into existence are always felt, we "filter" out the existence part of the symbolism.
[We filter out the default position.]
So, what do we have left when we think of blood? Death. We filter out the coming into existence and existence because it is our nature to filter out information, thus by process of elimination, we have death.
Although there may be people who are exceptions to this, that is what they are, exceptions. I would guess that when one is asked the question and answers "birth", the person was asked the question in such a way that pushed him/her to more likely answer "birth".

I think, it's because the way death was carried out in the past. Throughout the years, the human race seemed to associate with it on a familiar level. I mean, during the Middle Ages, there was the Black Death, Renaissance and Reformation, there was execution over you being Catholic or Protestant. Even at Jesus's time, there were harsh executions as well. And plus, considering wars, and what not ... And well ... What I'm getting at is that death is associated with pain. Alot. And pain hurts. People, or well, the human race, usually do not like pain. And usually when you get pain, it involves some kind of event that caused you to get harmed. When you get harmed, then it's all, 'ker-splat!' and there's the blood, and the gore. So, when someone sees blood, most likely, their instinct would be like, "Ouch, that gotta hurt. I'd hate that for that to be me", or something of the like. And these days, I'm guessing that we have seen so much of people getting hurt, and we're used to the fact that blood means that it hurts or it means that someone's dying. Not to look down on CSI or anything though ...
