On morality: Death vs extreme suffering
#22
RE: On morality: Death vs extreme suffering
No no... it makes plenty of sense. Smile

But perhaps if it is an extremely short term pain, say seconds, or minutes perhaps?

Does the fact that there was pain matter so much if one dies fairly quickly?

Although i do understand what you mean by

I wonder if it is necessarily so clear-cut?
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
