The average person doesn't go around thinking of death, much less fearing it, until its right at their doorsteps.
"The YouGov Death Study reveals that Britons are split when it comes to fear of their own death: 41% are afraid and 43% are not. Women (47%) are more likely than men (35%) to say the prospect of their own death frightens them."
"Women aged 25-39 (56%) are the most likely to say they fear death, while this falls to a quarter (26%) among men aged 60+."
"There is a notable generational split on this question: for Britons under 40, 38-40% say their fear of dying has affected their life, compared to 33% of those in their forties and fifties, and 21% of those over 60."
CITATION
I don't dear death at all, and I am approaching 60. I was dead for billions of years after all. Though I might have some reservations about the nature of it, avoiding unnecessary pain would be high on my agenda.
