“The U.S. is more problematic because it is harder hit by a range of issues that kill people even before they hit old age, including drug overdoses, shootings, obesity and inequities that make it hard for some people to get sufficient medical care.”

    Do you want to be fully conscious when you die, or not really aware it’s happening?

    It’s a complicated question.

      It’s definitely complicated. And I also think it would depend on the context of my death. If I were in a lot of pain or discomfort, I don’t think it would matter to me whether or not I was fully conscious.
