Death is left up to God. People that take their life due to severe metal depression, are condemed regardless of the fact, that reasoning tells you, if they were normal, death would be the furtherest thing from their mind. To ever get the world to agree that euthanasia is a personnel humane decision based on each individual, allowing this person to die with a sense of pride, based on mental, physical, and of course the amount of pain their in, would never be agree on to what is a presedence. Threw out life, people have committed suicide due to terminal illness and the very next day, a drug would be released that could of saved them. No, we don't allow our beloved animals to suffer, but humans are classifed as larger class of physical being. That is where, the discussion locks down. There is proven fact that mercy killings go on all the time, and a majority of the time, the care physician or a nurse, will actually assist a patient to help them end there suffering. If you check the statics of how many people with terminal illness die due to a overdose of morphine, (which is the easiest death one can imagine, due to the fact that it actually relaxes the body so much that the person just quites breathing.) But its hard to prove this theroy because a terminal ill person, is pretty well given all the pain meds they want to try and stay comfortable. I do not want to argue any of the above facts. If anyone disagrees, "be my guest", I have my own facts to back up what I have written.

Answer 4

Of course, we can not know for certain that what you say is true, but the means to one's death is rarely pleasant: illness, pain, mental anguish in the case of incurable disease, degeneration, murder, torture, fatal injury, execution -- all distasteful, to say the least. I suppose that accidental death in which death is instantaneous and death at an ancient age might be painless both psychically and physically, but who can be certain? If you have viewed the deceased, they generally seem peaceful enough, but, of course, their essence ("soul" or life-force) is no longer present, and we can not know whether that "essence" continues to exist elsewhere nor what conditions it may have encountered in the "hereafter". If the religious are correct, suffering does not terminate with life but may be eternal, particularly for those of us who are nontheists. I would definitely opt for nonexistence rather than endless punishment, obviously, although I can imagine life following life which would be lovely but would not be the "Heaven" of the devout where I would be, not only unwelcome and uncomfortable, but utterly rejected!

Answer 5

For those that are afraid to die the anticipation is probably worse, but I would not want to be on death's bed and know I was on my way to hell.

Answer 6

yes i think the anticipation and anxiety about death is far more frightening than death itself. once you get to a certain age you will begin to see that cliff everyone is falling off. most likely you will be sad a little and think back on your life, if your life was good you will accept it more readily.

Answer 7

Absolutely.

Answer 8

That's the case in lots of things. In fifth grade, I dreaded fighting Dennis after school - it turned out OK, and once he hit me, I started hitting him. We ended up pretty good friends.

Answer 9

The fear of something usually proves to be more torturing than the "something" itself

Answer 10

I don't remember death, so how would I know?
