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

Yes if the person wants to die

You're missing the point entirely. A person wanting to die doesn't make death *good* for them, it makes them suffering. That's the tragedy. If someone genuinely desires their own end, they're in psychological or physical agony, which is precisely *why* death seems preferable. Death isn't suddenly beneficial because despair has warped their judgment. Marcus Aurelius understood this: a rational person accepts what they cannot control, but that acceptance doesn't make the outcome good. It's just resignation. The fact that someone wants to escape life tells us something is catastrophically wrong with their circumstances, not that death is actually desirable. We should fix the suffering, not celebrate that they've given up.
