The best way to die?

People say that when it's their time to go they'd just like to go quickly rather than hearing they have some terminal illness. I completely identify with that. I would feel terrified if I learnt I had a terminal illness. Much better to go quickly -- not endure those months of fear leading to one's eventual demise. 

And yet . . and yet . . I think that after the initial shock and stultifying fear, the subsequent reminiscing about my life, what it all means, whether I might survive my death and if so what I might experience, writing down these thoughts on my blog, perhaps even relating any anomalous experiences I might have e.g. deathbed visions, then perhaps this might be a desirable option. At least if any pain could be minimised.
