I can’t speak for the author, but I would absolutely choose death over life imprisonment if given the choice (assuming a painless method of execution)

  I'd take the pain anyway.

  Some people live most of their lives "imprisoned": maybe they're blind, deaf, paralyzed, have birth defects, chronic pain/illness. But even they value life within limitations. There is always a reason to keep going. Perspective is everything.

    I think It’s one thing to be born blind/deaf and never experience life without it, but it’s another when you were free and then went to prison for life/got blind/paralyzed

    I don’t think it’s reasonable to assume that everyone will have the same perspective on this.

  You sound like the banker in "The Bet" by Chekhov. I hope nobody makes a bet in this thread. :D
