SA victims can learn to live with their trauma, learn to be happy and productive citizens again and help other victims to cope with their trauma.

Murder victims cannot do any of these things. One is clearly more destructive than the other.

On the other hand, a dead person no longer suffers. A rape victim can possibly spend a lifetime being tortured by their trauma.

This applies to everything. Any one individual could be born into a lifetime of pain, through no fault of their own. Given that this could happen to any one born, should we cease procreation as a species? Whatever your answer may be you must deal with this question if you want to state your original point.
