Goalpost shift? Your assertion was that "life is a benefit",
not that "one can benefit from life"; I certainly have no
argument with the latter. The answer to your *actual*
original assertion that "life is a benefit" is by
counterexample (two of them, actually; there are more
available on request):

The fact that you think there's some nebulous "benefit" in
being born with a painful heart defect which kills you
before the age of one, or born to abusive addict parents who
beat you to death at the age of two (neither of which is any
sort of "benefit"), is sufficient to reject your conjecture
that "life is a benefit". A short life of nothing but pain
isn't a "benefit".

Now stop snipping the answer and claiming I've given no
answer, you lying sack of shit.
