Do you consider amnesia as bad as death?
Amnesia has the advantage that there's still a person around who my friends and family can (partially) recognize as me. Still, there perhaps should be less of a gulf between my reactions to (permanent, near-total) amnesia and to death.
That advantage doesn't seem fundamental. How about amnesia plus being dropped in a eutopian alien universe?
