The most interesting aspect of the piece for me was that throughout the many example offered, the assumption was always made that life is better than death. This is an extremely common assumption of course, and perhaps to challenge it is to nit pick, in the context of this article.

But still, if the entire article is based upon a blind faith based assumption, that seems to merit some mention.
