Being dead is definitely better than the mental anguish of 18+ years of having a shit parent. Ask me how I know.
Not to mention the disproportionate chance of catching an easily preventable disease and then being in extreme pain and misery for whatever remains of life. Normally I'd say that it's a tragedy not to have the opportunity to live a long and full life and it should be avoided at all costs, but that was never realistically in the cards for them anyway with those kinda parents/cultural upbringing. Lottery odds aren't worth it.
