how would you prefer to die?

I think though that kicking and screaming makes more sense than rolling over.

I'd prefer a Gamma ray burst ! while drinking a beer, of course

the problem with that is most of humanity would probably go with you

Last November I had a heart attack. I was just standing in my kitchen making a cup of tea and felt light headed (no pain at all) and awoke an hour lying on the floor. Had an interesting and peaceful OOB experience. Had it not been for the 2 fractured ribs I received when falling I would not have gone to the hospital 2 days later. Just did not seem like a heart attack. No pain until after the bypass surgery.
I guess going quietly has it merits.

A comedian (I forget exactly who it was) once said, "I think I'd like to go peacefully in my sleep, like my grandfather, and not crying and screaming, like his passengers."

Woody Allen's famous quote---"It's not that I'm afraid to die, I just don't want to be there when it happens"

I know exactly how I am going to die.

I am laying on the kitchen floor, my red blood a sharp contrast to the white tile.

My wife stands over me and asks, 'Sorry honey, but tell me again how to reload this gun.'

I could go for this. But it'd be Marmite.

Another famous answer to the question (don't know who by, may be Allen as well, but it sounds like Wilde, too):

I would like to die as I have lived: fashionably late.

I don't see that as much of a problem. At least we won't have to miss one another.

I wouldn't want to be alone.

I wonder about that. Why inflict on others? Seems kinda selfish and needy.

Just friends and family, apathist, talking to me and trying to make things as comfortable for me as possible. Or in case of an accident, strangers choosing to stay around for the same reason.

if I could script my ending
it would be watching an ocean wave
falling asleep
the end

He also said (Maybe plagiarized) I don't want to achieve immortality through my works, I want to achieve immortality through not dying'

How would I prefer to die?

Hypothetically.
