My vote is for "Death in Sleep". I agree that this route is a cop-out for the deceased (if such a claim CAN be made, after all you're the one that's dead and not the others).

I'd rather it be said at the drunken Irish-like funeral party afterwards (because the remaining must celebrate), "Oh Jeez, at dah leest, 'ee died peacfully an' pruper!" But what I WANT at that point is... largely immaterial.

I'd probably vote for "Death in Sleep" as well. I like surprises. I don't want to know when or where. If I was given a length of time, however long or short, I'd just worry myself to death anyways. All that anticipation of the impending hour of doom... Just give me a quiet passing.

Hi Andrea, Love your blog. I write sometimes on HuffPo and found you through that site. I admire you for your choice and can totally understand the appeal, but I guess I'd want to eat once last piece of chocolate, say goodbye to everyone, visit my favorite places one last time etc...

I'd definitely like to die in my sleep. Otherwise, I might end up dying in a public location or in front of someone. Instead, I'd much rather be discovered by one or two people.

In my sleep. Hopefully painless and old.....
