"Death is the most embarassing thing that can ever happen to you." Would you agree?

I would not.
Think about it, would you still be embarrassed if you were already dead? Whatever the method of death is, however embarassing it might seem to be, you'd still be dead and thus you wouldn't feel a thing. YOU, the dead person, cannot be embarassed, though OTHERS might be embarassed enough for you. =)

well i think it all depends on how you die, when you die, where you die. for instance, death when you're 98 in a hospital bed isn't embarassing, but death when you're 26 in the middle of a christmas party and you just ate something the host cooked, well that has to be at least a tad embarassing for someone..

Death is not embarassing at all. After you die, you have no thoughts or feelings, so there is no way you can be embarassed.

Well, since it is going to happen to everyone (if not everything), including myself, as well as this message, then I would say, yes, this is all very quite embarassing.

In some cases I guess it could be, if your world revolved around you accomplishing some task, I guess dieing would be kind of embarassing. Or if you died doing something really foolish, sure.

Actually I believe the quote was "Dying is the most embarrassing..." Andy Warhol said it. But if you really think about it there are far more embarrassing things in our life. Perhaps he was referring to the process of losing ones looks, abilities, and mental faculties.

No. Unless that person is looking at it from a religious point of view. Whereas their whole life will be reviewed before God and all the good and bad things they did, in it.

Ego fears death above all. Without ego we can't be embarassed. Nor would we fear death.

That's just silly. We all die. It's perfectly natural and expected. I can't fathom why it should be embarassing.

Well... S h i t t i n g your pants could be pretty embarrassing, and you'd still be alive to live it down afterwords.
