"I consider dead people as more fortunate"
# the living, those who are still alive
The word "living" is a nominal adjective that refers to people who are living. The phrase "those who are still alive" means the same thing as "the living." AT: "the people who are still alive" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-nominaladj]])
# more fortunate than both of them is the one who has not yet lived
"the one who has not yet been born is better off than both of them"
