# A friend and I have an ongoing debate;
I say still birth is worse, but he says cot death is.
Discuss.

# No way!
Giving birth to a corpse would be so much worse than just finding one.

# Oh, you meant emotionally.
Sure, it would be ickier. Not worse.

# Yes.
That is far worse than the death of your child.

# i'd say still birth
still birth is like building a spice rack and having it fall off the wall and smash the moment you put it up.

i liken cot death to the spice rack falling off the wall a couple of months later, it's sad but you have the good times to remember and the prospect of making another spice rack.

# Hmm, that's an interesting point.
Like, on the one hand, it would be better if, say, Hitchcock died after making Psycho and just before The Birds, rather than dying while still making obscure british movies in the 20s.

Yet on the other hand generally speaking we prefer people who are not yet famous film directors to die, rather than people who already are.

I have to conclude that it depends on how much you like the baby.
