Slow Painful death vs Sudden death

I have seen few people around me who have been victim to slow painful death (cancer and other ailments) and few sudden deaths (caridiac arrest, dangerous accidents).
I feel sudden fast deaths are always better.. what do you feel, guys?

I would prefer just dropping dead.

My dad died instantly from a massive stroke.
Then 4 years later my mom died from alzheimers because she had broken her collar bone and both hips. What a shitty way for her life to end! Fuck!!!

@Blondily I lost both my parents to neurological diseases and it is sure rough on the family.
The worry, the guilt, the frustration and lack of support.
Aging in the US is not something I am looking forward too.
I dont want to put my own kids through that shit either.

@Adrift The US doesn't do enough for the elderly. I hope I dont linger while I die. Its too costly and hard on family.
