How to overcome the fear of death?

[Cinjin]

I am afraid of dying, which could be a very painful or prolonged process. I fear spending my last moment in pain and suffering.

This is a very rational fear, but pain and suffering in the moment of death could be shortened or at least made less hard to bear if we improved the treatment of pain and we legalized euthanasia.

Now if only we could improve the entire world and keep people from getting themselves into car accidents, battlefields, motorcycle wrecks, homicides, suicides, drownings, poison, planes crashing into buildings, animal attacks, insect bites, parasites, and all manner of accidents associated with recreational hobbies.
