Are there any situations in which death is objectively better than life?
depends on what that life would contain
but that doesn't mean this is a reasonable question.

being stuck in a vegetative state
sure being locked up in some dungeon getting tortered to death

Literally all of them
>no long-lasting suffering or short-lasting happiness since there's nothing at all
>go back to the perfectly fine state you were at before being born
>go back to not being conscious of anything at all, which is the source of all our problems & stress
But it's not like life isn't worth living either. We're a minority of the universe that is alive, and conscious, and sentient, and self-aware, and aware of being self-aware. It's a pretty unique experience (and technically our only experience really). But not being alive is objectively better. We just have to will ourselves into remaining alive by having long-term goals or by just not thinking so hard.

Seriously, though, I would consider it to be fairly reasonable with people who have illnesses like ALS, where you are just slowly losing control of your body.

For Christians, that is always the case.

this. I knew a guy with ALS who got to the point he had to breathe through a tube. apparently the family's doctor said he could survive perhaps 10 more years on the tube but he chose death so he wouldn't be a burden on his wife any longer
