Categorically different(arguing that weak dominance is not a weaker version of strong dominance, but something entirely separate): Fundamentally different in kind or type, rather than just different in degree or strength—like how a dog differs from a rock, not just like how a large dog differs from a small one.
The badness of death(as used in metaphysics and ethics): The philosophical question of whether and why death is actually harmful or negative for the person who dies.
absence of future goods(as used in theories of why death is bad): Missing out on positive experiences, relationships, or achievements that would have happened if you lived longer.
harm(Used to evaluate whether failures to act constitute harms under the harm principle): Making someone significantly worse off than they would have been otherwise, assessed counterfactually relative to a baseline.
