    At some point it will probably reach a limit where one needs to be unusually susceptible to pain to die an even more painful death.

      That’s assuming all the pain happens within a given span of time. As long as we can keep lengthening human lifespans, the length of a painful death can keep stretching out.

      To be clear, I’m not happy about this thought, I’ve just thought about the worst ways to die a lot more than is healthy.

        Well, the topic is horrible but since we are already at it why not just get it done with?

        Would a too prolonged suffering count as a painful death if the person is not dying for most of it? Many people live with chronic pains but I wouldn’t count that.
