On morality: Death vs extreme suffering
#18
RE: On morality: Death vs extreme suffering
I agree overall but I've also come to the conclusion that if you die earlier then you obviously won't live to regret it (because you can't, by definition, your dead (assuming there's no silly afterlife)), but..... if your life is say, saved, you may be very grateful that you didn't die. So you may never know that things might turn for the better. So it really depends on how desperate the case is.

On the whole I think suffering is more of an issue than death.... but I think that there are cases where if a bit more suffering is lived through it may be worth it if the individual has a great life thereafter (or great enough), who knows.
