    Euthanasia is still death though, so unless live people are just going to crawl into a box and willingly never come out? And if they do get out, are they going to be okay with having being starved in complete isolation?

    And where are their bodies stored? Outside of few exceptions, most human bodies decay away within a hundred years, so the grave sites can be reused, but you cant do that if someone’s still in it?

    If the world allows voluntary death, then it gets a bit easier to deal with though.

        The claim is no death. That means if you burn someone at the stake their body turns into a charred husk but they’re still alive and now they’re trapped in this state of unimaginable agony forever, unable to die but also totally helpless and in constant searing pain.

            Their face is still burned! You’d have to reduce them down to a brain in a vat. But then all they have is the memory of that searing pain.

              See you can keep going with this and just grind the brain into a sausage and feed it to wild animals. Then it gets broken down into nutrients and excreted, then fertilizer into trees.

              At what point does one die in this chain?

                  In the anime Ajin there are human who never die unnaturally via infinate regeneration but they still appear to age.

                  Closest thing to death there is decapitation which grows a new head without your memories. But your original head gets futurama’d

                    But what if you grind the head into sausage? How do they deal with that? I guess the sausage grows into a new head without memories?
