The question is intended to stir up a logical simulation of this most unlikely situation of all desires of a person coming to an end....

Then it would be easier to listen to your conscience and we would indeed listen to it and do what it tells us.
The conscience will always lead us to a meaningful life. So we would then do things not based on desires but based on our inner voice and spirit. Sometimes our desires override the voice of the conscience, making it much harder to follow it. We are not driven by our conscience in opposite to desires, but our conscience is something we can follow if we wish so. If desires are there we are often entangled in an inner conflict between the wish to fulfill the desire or what the voice of our conscience tells us which might be even opposite to the desires. The conscience always points to something, and is like a shining light we can follow, and desires are driving us.
If desires drive us and there is nothing there anymore which drives us, we can start to be the driver ourselves. Some people decide to do that despite the presence of desires.
As long as we live in our body on this earth there will be always desires there, which drive us. Still the conscience has the natural ability to be able to guide these desires.
I could imagine the more a persons desires disappear the more will a person strive after good and noble things. That what our conscience anyway leads us to.
If we left this world and earthly desires have disappeared we will then more and more develop our spirit whose voice again is our conscience.
So there would be lots of things to do.

I read something recently resistance Desire and Pure Desire..............pure Desire is a good thing for your well being and with that Pure Desire of what you really want you are on a good alignment with your Positive Good God Source with the Universe and you will attract other positive things from it with being true to your Pure Desires...............
As humans we need Desire to live I feel that there would be no life worth living without our Pure Desires from the High Source (God) Life Force with the universe!!!! Whats the point if we did not have our Passions & loves and Desires in Live a beautiful life until we Die!!!

The question presupposes a condition that doesn't seem to exist among people who are not comatose, specifically the end of desire. As long as we are conscious we all desire something even if it is a small thing like a meal, or getting some rest.

I read the first six answers and most seemed to consider the cessation of all desire to be impossible. This does not consider the beliefs of Buddhists valid. I would suggest asking a Buddhist monk who has achieved Nirvana (the blissful state upon cessation of all desire) this question He is in a better position to answer it.
Good luck, good mental health, peace and love!
Edit after 45 minutes: What would I do on that deathbed? Submit my will utterly to the unknown will of God. If you don't believe in God then you still have the will to find him/her/it.

We are made in such a manner that there always shall remain unfulfilled desires in us. But if indeed there were no desire left to be fulfilled we might as well should be 'DEAD'.
On a more metaphysical level the absence of desire may lead to our 'Nirvana' or emancipation from this miserable cycle of 'birth' 'death' and 'rebirth' for which we should all strive.

This is not as rare as you think. What happens is that one starts to crave for desire, a normal human condition. If they are positive and open minded, another craving or desire is born. If they are negative or resistant, nothing happens and they stay bored and feel meaningless. This continues until they get sick and then they achieve the desire to get well, which they then do, or they get negative or more negative and then croak.

desire is the engine of human activity. i see this question relating to spoilt rich kids who have fulfilled all their desires but lack true joy.
then the seperation of desires comes in.
one wishes to seek pleasure in material welath , fame.
thesedesires don't bring eternal joy.
but the other sort of desire having to see ur family, friends prosper, peace, good faith even when fulfilled, most good humans will try to keep it safe.
these are eternal desires and even when fulfilled it will be desired that they remain.

well, i think one he'll just think of all the things he had and the things he desired, and he'll realize there's nothing left to desire, why not start all over again?, so there'll be some more things he can fulfill. =)

I guess I would have come to having everything needed. Therefore, the only thing to seek out, is how to get rid of it all...
