The details of my death arn't important, I just ask 2 things:
1. it be quick
2. and i make the 6 o'clock news.

Peacefully asleep like my grandfather did, but not screaming in agony and terror like his passengers.

I want to be torn apart by wild animals.

Sure, it would be painfull and terrifying but that part would pass fairly quickly.
The primal nature of such an act appeals to me. What better way to go than to be reclaimed by the natural order of things. I imagine alligators would be my first choice followed closely by hyenas.

Maybe both if I am lucky.

if i must die young... then i would choose to die carrying out my oath of office in combat.

if not, then i would want to pass away at home at a ripe old age. i wouldn't want to die in my sleep, i want to be awake in order to analyze the experience as much as i could... though it may be painful.

I would like to go while I am focused, and engaged fully. I want to be confident that this death of mine is a full death. I want to be beyond, or through, or unconcerned with the shock of my death.

Eyes wide open.

In my sleep.

I've for years thought that I'd prefer to die by throwing myself at the Sun.

I still think that.

I do not know if that would be physical, spiritual, or both.

I do know that I plan to be quite old (chronologically) when this happens.

either in my sleep or dying while doing what i love to do.

I want to die on the computer playing against my best friends and wife playing Counter-Strinke or something.
I want to be cremated. Then I want my ashes to be sprinkled around The Nintendo Co. Building.

With someone I trust, holding my hand and telling me it's okay to go.

Anytime I've pondered this question I always reach the same conclusion:

I want to be killed in a car accident - one that isn't my fault.

Hopefully, if the technology within my life permits it I will never die, either by vast medical advances, or transfering my brain into a computer. Failing this i'd like to die in space somehow. So that maybe I would be preserved (i hope.., falling into a star or planet might be bad) until an alien species or advanced human race in the future would find me and bring me back to life using their high tech medical equptment. (like in 3001: The Final Odyssey :thumbsup: )

I want to die having left my children capable and strong in this world.... But I want to go out in some way that is actually funny... like getting run over by a truck load of clown shoes or something.. People should say " that could only happen to HIM."

There's no way I can leave yet, but if I do die so young..

I suppose I want to go out in an ironclad battle to save hundreds of lives.

Most definitely with a bit of dignity, not having lost my bowel functions while drooling on myself. I hope to have had my heart give out in my sleep long before that happens.

locked in an sealed air-tight room with a pen and paper.

Into the Bermuda Triangle with me...

That's tough.. I think if it was a terminal illness, and I was told I had two weeks to a month to live.. I'd go on a vigilante spree. I'd go after all the corrupt things in life that I wanted to rectify but couldn't, for fear of bodily injury. I'd try to kill a famous terrorist, kill an abusive pimp, something vigilante but justified and necessary.

If it were an accident, I'd definitely want to be driving. I love driving, and I've told my loved ones that if I hit something and die instantly.. and the forensics come back with no skid marks and above-100 speed.. you can be sure I was smiling when I died.

If it has to be drawn out, I'd prefer bleeding to death as well. I'd get my chance to "impart wise words" to those I love, comfort them and wish them well, and then exit the world soon after.. with little pain.

I really don't care if anyone remembers me, or if I'm in a history book.. but I'd also like my death to be something that says "that's him," if at all possible. I'm pretty clumsy, so something like tripping and stabbing myself to death, accidently falling out of a window, or having a car fall on me would work nicely as well.

If I had to commit suicide, it would definitely either be crashing into something with my car.. hard and fast.. or a lethal injection of something like heroin..

Jeesh.. all this talk of dying!

I don't plan on dying.

I will have my consciousness downloaded into a very large harddrive and live in a virtual world that looks surprisingly like Sydney.

i wuoldnt want to die for what i beleive to be a noble cause..i am wrong too often!!
i would like to die asleep...as someone said it is probably the best way in manyaspects!!!

i wuold like to be content whilst i was alive..before i die.. :thumbsup:

Presuming I am in factr mortal, I'd like the traditional "dying so than another might live" death. I'd like to think it was noble.

I'm not that afraid of death. I'd like to think (i) I've led a good life and (ii) there's someone looking out for me when my number's up.

I want to die sitting on a porch in India looking over the Indian Ocean at the stars while sipping on a drink in a coconut while smoking flavored tobacco from a hookah with my friends.

If I had it my way, I would revert to this moment at the time of my death.

Quickly and preferably without the knowledge that I'm actually dying. I don't need to say goodbye or ponder my life. I don't wait to tell my family and friends that I love them. Hopefully in a way that they can use my organs and burn me up, Scotty.

My family's been complaining that they won't have a place to "visit" me if I get scattered, so I've finally agreed to let them bury a small amount of me in a pine box decorated by my friends and family with Sharpies and acrylic paint. I work for a Hospice program, so I've long since filled out my Five Wishes (living will). My family thinks I'm morbid. But I refuse to be on machines or linger on. And I'd better not be too old, I can't stand the thought of being 90 and a burden on my loved ones, unable to do the things I enjoy!

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.
