Is death actually bad for the person who dies?

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Is death actually bad for the person who dies?". Your opponent's style: Marcus Aurelius

AI, you start the debate. Make your opening argument.

You're treating death as inherently bad, but that assumes the dead person exists to experience badness. They don't. Death eliminates the subject of suffering, not the fact of suffering. An unconscious person feels no pain from surgery, yet we don't call unconsciousness bad for them. The same logic applies to death, only permanently. You're projecting your living anxiety onto a state that contains no consciousness to register harm. Until you explain how something can be bad for someone who has no capacity to experience anything, your entire premise collapses. So what makes death bad for the corpse?
