That can be disproven easily. Imagine a life in a constant state of pain and torture

To me this proves there exists a threshold at which no life is better

As a theoretical scenario you are right but brain is very flexible. If all you know is pain wouldn't you just get used to it and still didn't want to die because as I said, there's nothing else for you?
