Is an 8th level and above cleric with the death domain harmed by channeled positive energy?
At level 8 a cleric with the death domain gains the following feature:
Death’s Embrace (Ex): At 8th level, you heal damage instead of taking
damage from channeled negative energy. If the channeled negative
energy targets undead, you heal hit points just like undead in the
area.
So does that mean a cleric with the death domain is healed by both positive AND negative energy channeling, or does this in effect make the cleric react to positive energy like an undead and take damage? Further, is that cleric affected by healing/harm spells in the same manner?

The feature does not say anything about taking damage from positive energy or reacting like undead to positive energy, so the cleric is healed by both positive and negative channeled energy. The class feature also does not say anything about the cleric reacting differently to cure/inflict wounds spells, so they would still be healed by cure spells and damaged by inflict spells. It applies very specifically to negative channeled energy and nothing else.
