I think I understand the desire for a death penalty (or an early-termination penalty). However, for me, it should be more an acknowledgement that death depresses h in the subject prior to death and in many others both prior to and following death, (and that a new life will take time to increase h around them) than a penalty inherent in the individual value.
And the “prefer to continue but wish not to have been created” case really seems like an error in intuition to me. Evolutionarily useful, but evolution has different goals than thinking individuals do. I understand the purpose, though, so thanks for the explanations!
