There are some things which are worse than death and this is one of them.

anything is worse than death as the dead don't suffer, by all currently available evidence.

but yeah, this one is definitely the absolute worse thing that could happen to someone, and let's not forget it is entirely man-made, given that fully paralyzed people are being forcefully kept alive by some f*cking sadist of a pro-lifer...

So you'd rather be mercilessly tortured than to die? It's quite the opposite for me.

Maybe. I think you're right, I misread it.

However, "anything is worse than death" seems like an ironic hyperbole; "cake or death?" he chooses death because cake is worse?
