Default [Powers] Resurrection with Option to Cancel

Powers: Divine Favor has two methods to bring people back to life.

Raise Dead (p. 13) uses a retroactive permanent Affliction of Extra Life. Resurrection (p. 16) uses an temporary Affliction of both Regen and Unkillable 1.

I'd like a power build that allows you to resurrect the dead, permanently (as the two above abilities do), but allows the option for you to put down those that you've personally resurrected easily.

I thought immediately of the Cancellation enhancement for Affliction listed on Psionic Powers, p. 13. That wouldn't really be useful on the Resurrection build (since it employs temporary affliction on a corpse to "make it better"). But maybe it's reasonable to allow it on the Raise Dead build? Except that it explicitly retroactively permanently afflicts Extra Life, so it gets "used up" immediately, and maybe can't be "cancelled" anymore.

So is Cancellation reasonable to do this?

Otherwise, the only thing I could think of was adding into the resurrecting Affliction some sort of permanent super-aggressive Weakness or high level of Susceptible or something along those lines that would be specific to your abilities alone. Or maybe some modified Self-Destruct (Depends on Will of Resurrecter, not on age) with Reduced Time to make it happen more quickly?
