Is it worse to enter a state of superimposed death and life than to die?
I hope not. That’s the state we are all in now and what we are entering constantly. Unless there are rounding errors in the universe we haven’t detected yet.
I think life requires a system large and complex enough to produce decoherence between “alive” and “dead” in timescales shorter than required to define “alive” at all.

Sorry, that was a Schrodinger’s Cat joke.
