I've actually talked about this with friends lol...
I thought the best one was going outside in the snow and lying there kinda making a snow angel while drinkin liquor...it's cold but you feel all warm and fuzzy...

I would rather not die but if I had to I would hope it would be fast and painless. In my sleep or shot in the head would be appreciated. The best situation would be for me to not know it is coming there so if I were to be shot I would rather have them do it randomly up from behind so I am not tortured. After seeing movies with painful deaths like being stabbed I would hope it would not end in a horrible way. It would be nice to die doing something I love too where I am having fun. There are many possible ways of death so I am not going to limit it to one.

I want to die in the strangest way, though without pain.
In such a strange way that, I'll get a "news of the weird" section on a newspaper or on the internet.

either that, or silently and quietly. I do not want to make too much of a mess on Earth.

Lol, just kidding.

If I were to die, it would certainly NOT be in my sleep. Just the simple thought of dying in one's sleep is a scary thought. Sleeping is like death in some ways....nothingness. Your mind a big blank. If I were to die, it would be with my family, friends, and relatives nearby. To pass away knowing they're next to me.

i think most would prefer to die in their sleep
i don't want that happening to me until im at least in my 50s
death is so depressing though
i just can't picture not seeing the world and feeling everything that is going on
sighs..
old in my sleep, thats fine with me.

Wow, what a topic...
Well I have always been afraid of dying, so I would rather like to stay alive... but I guess I can not.
I do not think there are too many people out there that would like a painful death, nether would I. I would like to die in my sleep, or die quick. No pain, please. Maybe I would like to have all my family around me, but what do I know? I just do not want to feel it, just fall to sleep...

Heavensound mentioned :

"Well I think everybody want to die a quiet, unpainful death and not end up in a car crash! I think the most important question is WHY and what actually happens when we die - what is objectively better - dying in a car crash or slowly in your sleep.

The thing is that death is a process - your soul has to depart from your body and for that it needs some time - this is why in India they leave bodies laying dead for a few days and they pray for the soul of the dead so that his departure would be as easy as possible. And this is why car accident is not ok - it usually destroys your body so that the soul has no time to completely depart from the body - this is also why there are so many occurances of people seeing themsleves being operated - their soul was not able to depart.

So yes, just like anybody else, I'd like to have a calm peaceful death, but I don't think that the majority knows why this sort of death is the best way to die..."


Sometimes I wonder if people are as afraid of death as they are afraid of the pain associated with dying. Think about it for a moment. If you were brought up to believe that death was a painless release would you be as afraid of it? Even people in their upper years fear death. Sure a lot of that has to do with letting go of familiar things such as family, friends and possessions........however a lot of that has to do with the fear of pain on death.
Notice how one of the first questions a loved one asks when someone dies is something along the lines of "Did they go in peace?Was he or she in any pain?How bad was it for them?How quick was it?"
And it's really no wonder that we are afraid of the pain associated with death. Death in its most sensational and horrifying ways surrounds us on a daily basis what with many news channels highlighting violent crimes, video games that embrace and encourage death inducing violence ( from the ridiculous such as the PS3 downloadable "Pain" to the newest title in the Grand Theft Auto series) and let's not forget your run of the mill TV shows. Spike TV has "Whacked Out Sports" which is just one of many types of shows that are a menagerie of clips of people doing things ( ranging from average joe stuff like skateboarding to OMG who would do that stuntmen tricks) where they end up somehow ( and painfully) miraculously alive. Heck I was watching one of those types of shows and I am pretty sure the guy DIED. They did NOT mention his recovery at all and it would be a miracle if he DID survive. Heck back in my day you had to rent death footage videos ( yup there are video series such as the Faces of Death as example). Now you can watch it on TV for free. In fact coming out this month on Spike TV a new series will be making it's debut....."1000 Ways To Die" in which it will cover real life cases of terrible ways to die.

So yeah. It's no wonder we all want to die peacefully.
I used to want to die in my sleep. Then I thought to myself one day "What if I die and don't know it and can't "wake up" right away?" I know silly thought there......however I have lots of lucid dreams ( and some that level and level upon each other making trying to wake up a chore and almost a nightmare in itself).

So how DO I want to die? Like most people out there......painlessly. I'm not sure that I really care how I go, so long as it doesn't hurt.

In my girlfriends arms...with her...from old age...

My perfect way to die.
