> Still, at that point there is nothing worse than doing what you’re told for the last ninety seconds of your life and making things easy for the death squad

This line was the point that invalidated the thesis for me. There are tons of things that are worse than accepting your death.

Maybe fighting back will cause harm to others. Maybe you will be tortured as punishment. Maybe you are in such pain that you want death altogether.

Death is obviously never a good option, but it doesn't take much imagination to think of far worse ones.
