I will disagree that one needs to live a long life. But rather, one should live a fulfilling life in which all their needs, as per Maslow's hierarchy, are met. And any (realistic) goals or desires or dreams or wishes of theirs are met. And a pain-free death would me ideal for me. Were it not for my aversion to pain and fear of vomitting I may not be here right now. heh xD Also, to have closure before one dies and sort out all one's affairs and say one's goodbyes or farewells and make ammends. For me, closure is important and I would probably right all my loved ones letters.

I'd like to die in my sleep, like my grandfather, and not screaming and terrified like the people in his car! (Sorry, I couldn't resist.)

Beat me to it.

eeeeek!

😀

This is how I want to go! ✌❤??

Hunter Thompson Had the right idea.

@bigpawbullets yep!

One that doesn't involve me.

6

To die while I'm still healthy, in my sleep, preferably shortly after engaging in deviant sex.

Trumps would be ok with me.

I am in bed and on top of me is George Clueny (that is after him and Amal has parted). I have a heart attack just after the very moment I had an orgasm. And that friends is my happy way of dieing.

good to know that you didn't contribute to their break up.

@callmedubious Of course not. I don't go for married men.

Well I can totally agree with that! 🙂 George is the man!

My wish of the last moment of my life is, I want to be siting in a comfortable chair looking at the ocean / campfire and listening "Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life by Eric Idle

A good death for me would be after a good life, lived to its fullest.

Death by chocolate! 😛

People always talk about going out peacefully, like in their sleep. That sound a bit boring to me. I figure if I have to die, why not make it exciting? I’d like to be devoured by a tiger or some other ferocious beast. It would at least make a good story.

@Antidronefreeman Well, fortunately animals tend to ignore our laws. So I should be good.

"Mr. Xuande. I am diagnosing you with this terminal illness. You have xxx weeks to live."

.......

Me, using phone: "Hello, NASA? Yes, I'd like a one-way rocket please."

Then launch my ass into the stars, any direction. Let me see them as few have before I go.

If I ever win the lotto this is how I'm going out. Space funeral.

I love that idea!

Instant.

i could say i'd like to be shot by a jealous husband at 95.
but more realistically i'd like to be able to be the master of my fate at the very end.
if i have anything that's terminal & requires chemo & pain. forget it. don't want any part of that shit.
but i hope to be able to retain the right to go out while i'm ahead of the game , relatively speaking,

Peacefully in my sleep with a smile on my face,No Regrets and my bucket list is completed

3

Die in my sleep or having sex.

3

Quickly and painlessly of course, but also alone, because I do not want to be a cause of grief. I would also like to have given away or spent every last penny I have on the day before. And to die either in the wilderness so that the animals can have a good feed, or at a table outside a cafe beside the sea in the warm sun with and empty glass on the table.

3

Dying in my sleep with no suffering or anticipation I suppose. I don't fear death, only the process of dying to an extent.

I would also include taking a bullet for my loved ones.

3

Fast.

2

Happy, feeling I've contributed somehow surrounded by family.

2

A quiet, peaceful death without pain and at home.

"Death may come at a crawl, or come with a pounce.
It matters not when, or why.
It's not so much that your dead that counts.
But only, how did you die?"

2

Crossing the finish line upside down and on fire.

2

No prolonged suffering! I prefer to go out doing something really fun

2

Die in sleep at own home

2

For me it would simply be a painless one. But as I'm immortal it doesn't matter 🙂

@maturin1919 My man! 🙂
