I'll start out by saying that I actually don't fear death. In fact, I believe that death is simply the cessation of consciousness. One of my favorite philosophers, Alan Watts, said that one of life's biggest mysteries is to know what it is like to go to sleep and not wake up, but we must also ask ourselves what it is like to wake up having never gone to sleep. Watts hypothesized that waking up without ever going to sleep is when we are born. I'll end my philosophical rambling here but feel free to bring in any sort of references for your stance.

(P.S. I really would love any sort of opposition to Alan Watts. Afterall, you can't have prickles without goo)
