Because I have a girl I love and wish I could spend eternity with. The fact I believe when we die we just rot in the ground makes it worse knowing I'll never see her again. Thats my only fear for dieing, but I honestly never think about it.
That is ridiculous, and no one cares.
I'm not afraid to die, but I am afraid to be killed or something, just because that'd probably be a pretty scary situation.

If we couldn't die, war would be pointless, but Hitler would still be alive. I guess you could torture people for forever though ~_~;
Death sucks, but it's necessary. It lets views on things change, and it let's society progress as we drop the dead weight (no pun intended).
I'm not afraid to die, but don't confuse that with being willing to die. There's still so much I want to do with the time I'm around. But if my time were to come, I'd have to accept that fact and be happy with what I did do. I guess I kind of think like Mora in that sense...

i dont believe its the fear of death that makes us worry, its the instant knowing thought that everything that "is" will not "be"
we will miss everything in other words.

We are in the third page and nobody has talked about counter-aging measures? I mean not the ones like regular exercises or healthy diet but the level of biological research on humans that we have achieved and those we can foresee coming. I believe scientists will eventually find ways to deal with natural causes of death. The only question is HOW LONG, can we live to see it?

I don't think they will, and I hope they don't.
The last thing we need is a more overpopulated planet than we already have.

I'm only afraid of drowning or burning to death.
I hope I die peacefully and (relatively) painlessly.

My only fear as well.
I plan on doing the deed myself; I think a parachuteless jump would be a great way to do it.

That's terrifying.
Being frozen would suck pretty hard too. I hear it burns at some point, almost like you're on fire.

To find new planets to live, space technology will perhaps take longer to develop, for now, let's jsut rely on birth control and war.

Hmm, I've actually given this a lot of thought and come to the conclusion that I'm not afraid of death at all. I don't mean it in the emo wah wah sense, I mean it in the logical 'shit happens' sense.
Of course I would rather not die, if only for my loved ones. It doesn't matter to me (shit, I'm dead, right?), but I know it'll leave my family with a bunch of needless grief, so for that reason I'd rather not die.
But if it became an inevitability, It wouldn't bother me. I've lived a good life up to this point and I don't think I'd change much if I were to do it again. That said, I don't fear death but I'd prefer for it to avoid me for a while if only for the sake of others.

Death...is like God's amusement... Picture yourself at the top of the world w/a Victoria's Secret model as your wife laying right next to you and a Tiger as a pet. Picture a meteorite coming down from the heaven saying, "Hi Joe, ooh don't mind me i'll just come down on your house at 500,000 mph. Don't mind if I shred your roof. Don't mind if I lodge myself into your head. Don't mind if I kill You."
Picture me being drunk and posting something stupid.

For everyone in the western world the question should be, am I afraid of suffering a heart attack or to die the slow death of cancer ?
I am not afraid of death itself, but i am afraid of the moment I realise that i have a disease that will kill in me in hours, days, weeks filled with pain.

Im only afraid of death if I can't go out like a maytr. I dont want to die a broken man without serving a cause.

I'm afraid to die because I don't know what happens afterwords. Logically, since we are conscious, we have something that gives us our consciousness, whatever it may be. It can't just disappear when we die... it can break down or dissapate but it can't disappear. Thus, it must go somewhere. So something has to happen to us after we die. The fact that I don't know what it is scares me.
This guy shares the same thoughts as I do. Also, I want to do something important in my life....haven't done it yet >.<
