If you were that horribly disfigured would you regret being born? To put it another way, if tomorrow you were in a horrible accident and your face ended up like that would you kill yourself or keep living? I don’t think having someone not exist is in their best interest even at that point - although if they decide it for themselves its a different issue. There is such a point, comatose and in constant pain would be at or past it, but it isn’t simply being ugly. For best perspective consider what you would put in your living will as it makes the person being considered a primary concern rather than a problem to be solved and moved past (which gives a bias to killing and beign done with).
