" want to live until I make a conscious decision to die. I don't think I'll choose that that for a while, and I don't think you would either.

Is currently my favorite way of arguing that dying is bad. It starts off with something really obvious, and then a pretty inferentially close follow-up that extends it into not dying.

It starts off with a tautology

Not technically.

(Comment syntax tip: Use '>' at the start of a paragraph you wish to quote and it'll look all spiffy.)
