If I put a gun to your head and started counting down from 5, you would probably not feel great. It is the fear of my feelings at the end as much, if not more, that anything else. If I am not lucky enough to be taken out by a sniper with an instant kill, or die in my sleep, there is a very good chance I will know what is happening. I cannot put into words how badly thinking about that makes me feel.

Ok, that makes much more sense than my first reading of the OP. But you might want to look up on the physiology of death, because I think natural death is preceded by heavy endorphin release, meaning peace/euphoria/etc.

Isn't the human body amazing! How would this evolve? There doesn't seem any evolutionary gain in easing natural death.

Also, thankyou, I'll look into it, it's a help if true.
