I can't see any pattern in how people deal with death. But I think if you are happy and fulfilled it is easier to go than if you've been hoping someday you would be happy and fulfilled- and you never got there. However, that's just a guess. I suppose if you are afraid of being judged by something and you constantly wonder if you'll measure up that could make death a little scary. I see death as just a part of the package tour I call life. I'd like to live as long as I can without sucking up enormous medical dollars and being in great pain. I don't like the idea of taking health care money away from more rational uses to spend on extreme measures for myself. I also do not like the idea of living a prisoner in a body that has begun to fail. I would rather cease to be, than continue to be in a state that was extremely distressing. I wouldn't force other already born people to cease to be if they don't want to cease- I marvel at their preference for life, at the cost of extreme suffering- but that's their choice to make.
