Fantasy Death!...How do you want to Die!!.

    I got the idea for this question when I was reading an article on palliative care and Fantasy death.Apparently its a question that they ask people who are dying.

    Death!……….…its something you can’t avoid. Everyone thinks about it at sometime or another. Its going to happen to us all weather we like it or not. Some people get to choose how they die and others don’t. Some people have been lucky to die in flagrante delicto. Some fanatics fantasise about dying while taking hundreds of infidels with them. A lot of films play to the male fantasy of dying in battle protecting family and friends.I have no idea what the female equivilent is,hopefully someone will enlighten me. Apparently the favoured one seems to be drifting off into a peaceful death surrounded by family and friends. When people are asked how they want to die, the common denominators seem to be “At home” and/or “Sudden death”.

    So the question is not if you want to die. But if you had the choice how do you want to die?.

    ok this is how it would go down....
    So id get myself a monkey a really large one, but one i could fit into a car (monkeys love car journeys) so we would travel the country and everyone would want to take our pics and autograph and generally have a laugh with us. We would even make a website and charge for tshirts with me and the moneky.

    But with all the glitz and glamour the monkey finally loses it and bites someone, we knew this day would come so we get into our mustang (we had it imported from the states with the cash we made on tshirts) and the police would finally catch up to us by the cliffs of Moher. Their we know their is no escape and finally floor it to the cliffs while Julian (the monkey) keeps firing back at the cops, we go over the cliff.......the car bursts into flames but Julian jumps out in flames screaming......until he hits the rocks, its quiet now.........
