There's worse...
Powerful acids are much worse than fire. Being eaten alive is much worse than fire. Burning alive is horrible... but if you use your imagination: you realize there is much worse.
Diseases can be damn terrible too.... try smallpox? 
There are also emotional pains that cut deep... sometimes shatteringly so. Pain in itself is rarely a good reason to give up... but the occasion sometimes comes up. Terminal, incurable, unrelenting, and disabling... that is the only kind of pain that I think should result in euthanasia... and even then only if the person desires to die.

The tissue damage could kill you... but such an ordeal can be lived through.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
