unlikely). As you say, before he died, the Children of the
Forest then gave Benjen an obsidian pacemaker.
So according to the show:
Putting a dragon glass shard in a living human's heart is
central to making a white walker (per Bran's vision), but
putting the same dragon glass in a still-living human's
heart is vital to keeping him alive, and human, and ...err,
non-zombie?
Anyone have a theory on the principle involved?
