   Can a life be ended by suspending its vital activities without dying?

   • If something’s life can be ended by suspending its vital activities without its dying, then we must reject the loss of life account of death. However, the loss of life account is thoroughly established in ordinary usage, and is easily reconciled with the possibility of suspended vitality.

   Is death a bad end?

   • Whenever death comes, it would have been good to live longer, so it is bad for us that we will not: “if there is no limit to the amount of life that it would be good to have, then it may be that a bad end is in store for us all.” (1970, p. 69)

   Is the end of life bad?

   • On one interpretation, the argument is this: the ending of life is not bad, since the only thing we could hold against it is the fact that it is followed by our nonexistence, yet the latter is not objectionable, as is shown by the fact that we do not object to our nonexistence before birth. So understood, the symmetry argument is weak.

   What does it mean to die?

   • 1. Life To die is to cease to be alive. To clarify death further, then, we will need to say a bit about the nature of life. Some theorists have said that life is a substance of some sort. A more plausible view is that life is a property of some sort, but we should also consider the possibility that lives are events.

   Is 'death' a word?

   • Earlier we noted that ‘death’ might be used for dying, the event or process of losing life, or being dead, the property of having lost life. The first reservation about the argument is that it is strongest if its uses of ‘death’ refer to being dead, and not to (the event or process of) dying. Here is why.

   Does death exist?

   • One mainstream explanation, the "many-worlds" interpretation, states that each of these possible observations corresponds to a different universe (the 'multiverse'). There are an infinite number of universes and everything that could possibly happen occurs in some universe. Death does not exist in any real sense in these scenarios.
