For me it comes down to a huge combo of what everyone said above -Afraid of missing out -Want to raise child first at least -Don't want to cause the sorrow/pain to others -The possibility of atoning for my sins I never really thought of how it would end.. don't want to. I tend to block it out in my brain. |

People have experienced death, and come back from the brink. And they have said it was quite soothing. My father works with dying people for a living, and Ive been close to numerous dying people. Its a pleasant experience, even if they dont go anywhere afterwards, even though I believe they do. I cannot wait to get to heaven. I'd get to see my grandparents and my dog again.
I cant see kids in my future. Edited by POOHEAD189, Oct 16 2011, 03:03 AM.

You're not dead if you wake up again. No one can experience being truly dead (zero brain function). People may recall a dream-like experience after being revived, after being revived, emphasis on after. They're not recalling death, but the state right before death because there is a lapse in perception and thought. Granted I'll respect your choice to take a religious perspective on the matter

I'll take religion out of this, but I must say... Sorry to tell you, but people have come back from zero brain function before. Not that its common, but it has happened. And to dying people who have come back from the brink, the "light at the end of the tunnel" isnt just a saying. Its what people actually experience when they are dying. |

I didn't say that people couldn't be revived from zero brain function, I said it's impossible to experience zero brain function. A computer cannot save data if it isn't on.

Contrary to popular belief, a brain is quite different from a computer. Although, I see what you mean by the anaology. But, people have gotten zero brain function, and then come back with stories of experiences. |

Of course the brain is more complex than a computer, my point is common sense, memory doesn't work without a functioning brain.

Afraid? No, not particularly. Do I want to die? Most of the time, no. But, there's something very... infatuating... about death to me. Doesn't it seem like it'd be somewhat pleasant sometimes? I guess it's what you imagine death to be like. Personally, I really can't say for sure, but I imagine it to be somewhat like sleeping or dreaming, eternally. When you fall asleep you don't remember the point at which you actually fell asleep, nor do you actually realize you're sleeping. I imagine death to be somewhat similar, but then again, I really don't know. Death is something somewhat intimidating and mysterious at first, but it's probably not that bad. I don't really worry about it. To quote Pink Floyd's "Great Gig in the Sky" - "I'm not frightened of dying, anytime will do, I don't mind. Why should I be frightened of dying? There's no reason for it, we've all got to go sometime." |

Not really. Dying in a really painful way wouldn't be much fun, but death itself doesn't scare me. If my time comes, it comes. Everyone dies some day. There's no point spending your life worrying about the inevitable. |

Novacane for the pain

Not anymore. It used to be my single greatest fear, but then I realized, why? There's no point worrying. I can't stop it. Sure, I don't like the thought of it but, personally I believe in an afterlife. Not a specific one, mind you, but im sure that it doesn't end at death. |
 We'll never be those kids again

Same here. I'm not sure it's anything specific but something peaceful for all life forms humans or not. |

Nope I am not really afraid of death at all. Ok maybe slightly but not much. I been looking into the world for sometime now and looking up Religion. I am not doing the most in depth study ever, but just enough to understand. I am just slightly worried about the pain of death, but more worry that I will never come back and see the world. I want to know what people think of me while I am gone. Getting to never see what the world is like in years and years after your death, and never getting to see your grandchild or other family members during death is the thing that will kill me the most. I been living for awhile and I seen many people die. Most are not afraid at all. One thing I know for certain is that what will happen after I die. I am an agnostic by the way. I don't know what death feels like at all nor what happens during death. Will I just not exist or will I be welcome to the afterlife. Will I come back or will I stay dead? It is something I am not sure of. |

It truly was a Shawshank redemption
|
I do find it extremely strange when I consider that at some point my life will end, I will cease to exist, cease to think and everything I know will just end. But no I'm not afraid of death. Like most people with that answer, I do fear pain and certain terrible ways you can die. However if somebody told me today that I would die the next day with no pain at all, it wouldn't bother me. |
 "Then you've got the chance to do better next time." "Next time?" "Course. Doing better next time. That's what life is." | |

Well I surely am afraid of death, generally I believe that you can't just "not be afraid of death" since nobody knows how it feels. But when that time comes I want to have settled all that needed to be settled. Worst than dying however, for me, is the thought that I'm leaving my beloved ones behind mourning me. |
