question

 Why, according to Gill, does Leon Kass think the notion of being "better off dead" is incoherent?

category

philosophy

options

  1. because Kass thinks that death is not a state of being and therefore cannot be evaluated.
  2. because Kass believes in the sanctity of life and opposes euthanasia.
  3. because Kass maintains that the concept of death is inherently negative and cannot be considered as "better".
  4. because there has yet to be a satisfactory philosophical explanation of why death is bad.
  5. because dead people no longer exist, and thus cannot benefit from choosing to die.
  6. because Kass believes suffering in life can lead to personal growth, making death not a better option.
  7. because some things (e.g., long-term torture) are worse than death.
  8. because Kass believes that one cannot compare being alive and being dead.
  9. because death is, by definition, undesirable.
  10. because death cannot be considered as a better option when life is valuable.
