We can not know that now. Maybe later.

edit: If knowledge comes from experience (not from theory) then if there's nothing after death, no one ever will know :smile:

If there's 'missing' something, I think, that's a good point to start pondering about 'nothing'.

Yeah but something being 'missing' requires something to be there in the first place.  Nothing is just insane, incomprehensible.

That's honest.:thumbup: Fear of death is natural and comes with the territory. Most of my death anxiety is unconscious IMO. For me however continually looking into the idea of death is worthwhile. It blunts it just a little bit.

It's all about staring death in the face and spitting in its eye.

Are you all going to choose when your going to die, or "I'm gonna die when its time for me to die, so let me live my life, the way i want to"?

Who's that quote by?

IMO Hunter S. Thompson's route seems pretty appealing.  Ya get to bypass all the unpleasant side effects of old age, and plus a flash in a pan is always more memorable than a long, expired dwindle.
