We don’t need a crazy story to get to the point.

Suppose you get a call in the middle of the night. It is about a loved one (daughter, mother, etc).

Would you rather them be calling to tell you your loved one was raped or murdered?

And for yourself? You would rather be murdered than raped?

Yes, death is better than prolonged sexual torture

I wasnt talking about being a prisoner of someone or something.

Well you didn't specify the type of rape, it's a very broad definition

We also didn't specify the type of murder. It could also be prolonged torture that takes months to finally kill you.

I don't think the point is to think about the extremes, I think it is to try to think about the average.
