Death is not 'bad' if it is painless. That's my short answer. But any purposefully inflicted pain is bad. Wanting to live is just an instinct... we need to seperate from it. Life is regarded too highly, and death is looked upon badly. Pain should be looked upon badly, death can be very good in lots of cases. If the human race takes on that philosophy, things might go a little better. Whenever I say this to friends at school, they always get angry at me for being 'morally wrong'.
