I’d like to die a sudden, painless death after many years of enjoying a scientifically extended and modified high-quality life, adding something to society, and having some good kids who can also contribute something worthwhile to the world. Also, I’d like to know this painless death is coming so I can say my goodbyes and make sure my death won’t burden my family.
Then, of course, I’d rent a luxury suite and have at least a week long binge of drugs, booze, food, and filthy, filthy sex with the willing and ready bisexual clones of Jamie Eason, Margaret Diubaldo, Ava Cowen, Grace Park (from the new Battlestar Galactica), Jill Wagner (from Blade), Kobe Tai (porn star), 90s Liz Hurley, 90s Stephanie Seymour, and 90s Milla Jovavich.
Hmm…I’m sure I’ve forgotten something, but that about covers it.
I don’t plan on ever truly “dying.” I believe that in the next 50 years, we will invent a way to “download” our consciousness into a computer or some type of machine. So, even if my body dies, my consciousness will continue to live as a digital being. Until some asshole trips over the power strip.
I read a book about Patton once and the author said that often Patton would say that he thought the best way to die would be as a second lieutenant leading a calvary charge with a saber in one hand and a revolver in the other, and to catch a bullet right between the eyes just as you attained victory.

How about death by stingray?
That’s fucked up.
Man, this got me thinking. I would like to die in all sort of ways. Disturbing to think about this shit, but I would wanna die a hero, saving someone, or fight for my country and die in a hail of gunfire, doing some chick, and die in my sleep.
Thats cold, imagine how the chick would feel waking up next to a dead guy.[/quote]
I imagine the hail of gunfire would have killed her too.

Sounds like the extended life premise of Corey Doctorow’s Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom.
Download your identity to a certain point of time (make a backup each day), die somehow, have a new body grown for you and then have your backup identity copy reinstalled, over and over again. I could dig that…
