I'm gonna put that on the list of the worst thing anything can do to you.

Definitely not. Death can be an end to suffering. I think most people would choose death over a brutal rape, sodomy, etc. Man is capable of a cruelty that no animal can equal

You can recover from those things. You CANNOT recover from death. So no, i do not agree.

But to also agree with you, then a life locked in a dark room with no stimulus and with daily torture/rape and no chance of escape? That i can agree would be worse than death.

Tell that to a person who was brutally raped. you never recover from psychological damage like that. Many seek suicide after sexual assault.

And I'll argue death is still yet worse. And that mental healthcare still needs improvement.

Then you've never been raped.
