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 claim death is bad for the person who dies. But you've confused two entirely different things: harm to the living, and harm to the dead. Death cannot harm the one who dies because there is no "one" left to experience harm. The dead person feels nothing, knows nothing, suffers nothing. How can nonexistence be bad for someone who no longer exists to suffer it? Pain requires a subject. Once you're gone, there's only absence. Yes, death harms those left behind. But that's their loss, not yours. When your time comes, you won't be around to regret it. You're afraid of dying, not dead. Confuse those at your peril. What's your counter?
