    Dying in your sleep is commonly thought of as the best way to die. What's your opinion on this? How do you want to die?
     
    I don't want to die at all, tbh. But if I have to, and I probably have to haha, then I want to die in my sleep. Passing out for one reason or another, and then not wake up again. I would never want to die from an injury.

    So let me turn 120 or something and then fall asleep and it's all good.
     
    Maybe this is me and my superhero complex showing, but I want my death to have been for something. I want to die for someone, or for something, I don't want to just drop dead, in my sleep. I mean, I can't really complain if I do die in my sleep literally, cause it'd be painless, but it's not how I want to go out.

    I'm with you there buddy! Death happens anyway, might as well be for a good cause right?

    I'm really afraid of dying old: I don't ever want to become an invalid, soiling the bed and being dependent on others to live for the sake of living. If I can be old and awesome/independent/buff (I know it's possible), that's a different story, but I don't know how controllable that fate is.

    Why? Why would you want to live at the age where your flesh and bones are rotting, diseases ravaging your body, existing in constant pain and agony, a mere shell of what you once were.
     
    I don't know. Just pretending my friends/family are all dead or hate me, I honestly think that suicide would be decent means of death. At least then you know it's coming and you're okay with it.

    I also agree with the posters who said that they don't want to die when they're particularly old. I don't want to live that long; life would no longer be enjoyable.

    I wouldn't. I would synthesize some chemicals and clone some proteins that would help people live fresh longer. Because I'm a chemist scientist just like that.

    Well, tbh, I don't know if I would really want to be that old. But I would really like to live for quite a long time and see the world evolve. Might regret that if we end up with a WWIII though.
     
    I think it's the most painless, and what I worry about is a painful death. If I could die some other way, and it isn't painful to me, then I wouldn't mind it. But as it is, there really isn't another way to die painlessly.

    Dying in your sleep is usually a good way to die, as it's painless and peaceful. I'd probably like to go this way too, as it's not nice to die a slow and painful death.

    Exactly my thoughts. Either way, that's a worthless way to die. Die for a reason, better.
     
    Once i've lost all there is to live for (friends and most family)
    I think that I want to die doing something really awesome like skydiving? Bungee jumping? Drag Racing?
     
    Dying in my sleep is probably the way I would want to go. It seems the most painless way to go tbh. I think that everyone hopes that their death will be peaceful and as painless as possible.
     
    I think dying in your sleep is a good way to go.

    However, just like Vertigo's Dipu's response, I would also like my death to mean something. Preferably saving someone else, and then dying in an instant. I don't think I could handle a slow, painful death very well. I'd be the person yelling at the doctors to do their job and take the pain away. XD
     
    If I die in my sleep... I will be a very unhappy spirit. There are definitely 2 ways I would rather myself Die: Either doing something meaningful (like helping someone, or preventing a situation from getting worse) OR I'd like to Die doing something no one else has done. (Such as being the first to enjoy the Advent horizon of a black hole... Thus dying of a thing called "spaghettification"... because why not?)
     
    I reckon it's peaceful and the best way to die. Then your family doesn't have to watch you suffer, plus it would be painless. C:
     
    I have three ways I want to die. The first being shot in the head by dirty harry. The second is dieing in a dream where I dream I am in a final fantasy game (before 7) or dragon quest game and when I finish said game I won't know because it will have felt I lived it and then die at the end saving everyone from Gilgamesh or god. The third being dieing from nuclear bombs.
     
    My mother works as a nurse for old people, she usually tells me stuff like how someone died while peeing at the Toilet, someone who died in the hands of another nurse, or even ones who fell over and died.
    Yes, dying while sleeping also happened twice, but my point is, lots of terrible things happen when nursing, and not only this.
