I'm not looking forward to dying.

I'm fine with afterwards, it's the process that I really, really don't want to deal with. I've been dead before, we all have, it was fine. We'll be fine, you won't worry or feel bad at all, for like... forever. But man, I really don't want to be locked in my body in a hospital bed for 3 weeks with inadequate painkillers and no way to do anything about it.

Yeah, the process is bad. Simply not existing seems fine. I seem fine with it before birth, so. If it's not instantaneous and painless...eurgh no thanks.
