As far as involuntary death, I think accidentally falling into a huge vat of liquid helium would do it. It's make the news, and my family would get mad compensation. Plus, there's the off chance of being revived in 600 years if they keep me frozen.
There is NO way there would ever be an open vat of liquid helium

Oh, and you need to learn how to spell "recommend". :)

I would prefer not to die.


However, I guess If I was going to die, it would be at a very old age, and it would be a slow and miserable death. There would be unimaginable amounts of pain and agony. That way, when it came time to finally die I would lose the will to fight it, and be at peace with myself.

My super-spacecraft would be shot down in flames, after a daring strafing run that totally devastates the enemy.

I'd goe with being asassinated, because in order for it to be considered asassination, I'd have to be important, otherwise it's just plain old murder

I am going to contact FBI and have them put you on the watch list.

I seem to recall an old quote:

I want to die peacefully, in my sleep like my grandfather. Not screaming in terror like the rest of the passengers in his car.

dying in my sleep at the ripe old age of 90 after spending the last 70 years at the playboy mansion.

I'm touched to see the the most popular response is "gloriously, saving the world". There may be hope for the world.

I just heard on the radio (talking about the snowstorm) that freezing to death is quite pleasant, as the body cools down people feel really good, lie down and relax - thereby not trying to get help. The radio warns against it, but it has its good points.

edit: I looked up girl scouts and it says ages 6-17. so, of course, I meant the legal ones ;)

either fast so I don't know what hit me,
or slowly without pain.

#2 doesnt really exist, so fast.
