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

You claim death is bad for the person who dies? That's where you're wrong. Death cannot harm someone who no longer exists to experience harm. The dead feel no pain, no loss, no regret. What troubles you is the *living* perspective, your fear of ceasing. But that fear is irrational. Before birth, you suffered no torment from non-existence. Death returns you to that state. Only the *living* are harmed by death, through grief and loss. But those harms belong to them, not to the corpse. Death itself? It's neutral. Indifferent. The person who dies experiences nothing to call "bad." Your dread is psychology, not metaphysics. What makes you so certain the dead are suffering?
