No.
It is preferable to continue existing once one already exists (assuming that life isn't unbearable). If I did not exist to begin with then no one would care.
Indeed, and I also disagree with number one; I did not ask to be born and sometimes at my absolute lowest I wish I never had been or that I could have a 'kill switch'... just an instantaneous, painless way to cease to exist. Heaven and hell can both be earthly and in the hellish moments, it is only fear of the process of dying; the pain, the loss, the loneliness, the cold that prevents me from taking my own life, not the love of existence.
