I briefly spanned over the topic and may have missed some of the points made, but I do agree with the majority made so far.
At the tender age of 18 myself naturally I wouldn't look forward to dying but I'm inclined to believe that if and when I reach my later years of 80+ I'd have had enough, so to speak. A certain expectancy that after my many years of living in society I'd have hopefully fulfilled what I set out to do or at the very least be contented to pass.
There's also a factor that age brings problems physically and mentally, and the overall feelings of tiredness that I may even wish, deep down, to pass away.
This is coming from someone who has thankfully never experienced any deaths from the people I knew while I was alive so my view on this topic would perhaps be different otherwise.
