No, it isn't. A benefit is something that makes an
entity better off; that is, something that improves the
welfare of an entity.
Prior to existing, the entity DIDN'T HAVE a welfare
that could be improved. Thus, initial existence did
not improve the entity's welfare, and initial existence
therefore CANNOT be a benefit.
