I read an article once saying that many health professionals would actually prefer to die of cancer. They said with cancer you have time to accept death and say goodbye and maybe do a couple things you wished you had done in life. They said the drugs would help with the pain of dying. Many people don't want a violent death in a car accident or a sudden death like a heart attack. Cancer is a slow death that could give the time to reflect on your life. Personally I really don't know how I would want to go. I've heard that freezing to death is quite peaceful, but how would you really know? I think however you go the body does what it can to make the process as painless as possible, considering you're dying and all.
I guess we'll all find out eventually.
