Ah, but there's the rub. You could make yourself happy if the coin came up in your favor, and afterwards you wouldn't know the difference. I think this raises deeper philosophical questions than the value of life.

For example, what if there was a drug that would perpetually alleviate sorrow, would you take it? What if it eliminated your memory of taking it? Stripped of "choice" what have we gained?

The way the question was originally propositioned is a bit ambiguous. Is the choice is between non-existence and godhood, or is it between non-existence and fabulous wealth? I'd never flip for the latter, but I might consider the former.

If one believes that non-existence is inevitable, what is there to lose by flipping the coin?

Very existential.
