Again, senseless.  Life is the most precious gift.  We are not talking about being tortured and then wishing for death.  Life is not being tortured.  We are not saying a life of being tortured is a gift.  We are talking about life, being free, being able to live, being able to experience life, love and all that it has to offer.  Again, without life you have nothing.  I know you are saying that nothing is the most precious gift someone could have but everything starts with life.
