I know my threads are starting to take on a pattern, but I wanted to ask this question after reading this response to my other thread:
If you live long enough, you will die of cancer.
This. In general increased cancer rates are a good thing. They mean that people aren't dying of anything else before they get cancer.
How would you want to go out? Personally I think that a sudden, unexpected heart attack, preferably one suffered while asleep, would be one of the least unpleasant ways to die.

Just don't suffer any last minute regrets, or you'll embarrass yourself in from of Dr. Kevorkian.

Oh, looks like that's what you listed in the OP, in which case, I agree.

This isn't the worst ways to die thread.
but they're listening to every word I say
"You've thought about this."
"Yes, I have."
Like maybe you don't eat on the day before?

a) doesn't always happen, as anyone who's been to med school will tell you (don't ask what you have to do when you get one of these cadavers)
b) why does it matter anyway?
Jump off the magic tower in a Mickey Mouse suit. Quickly kill not only myself, but the childhoods of hundreds, if not thousands thanks to youtube.
Yes. Yes.
If I was old and planning to kill myself, I'd want to either spare whomever picks me up the trouble or at least write a note of apology at the end of my suicide note.

"Oh god! The horror! Why did he do thi... Oooh! Twix!"
I think that would be fairly ideal
edit: By contrast heart attacks are terrifying traumatic events that may not actually kill you, you run out of breath, your heart is slowly dying as you suffocate from lack of oxygen for 10+ minutes.
No thank you.
Overrated. Your brain still has enough oxygen and nutrients to keep ticking for a little while. Presumably similar to being chocked out, so about 20 seconds. All the while you're experiencing a heart attack and are conscious of dying.
I figure you'd want to go for maximum brain damage in minimum time. So I think 8 Gauge (bigger if it can be found) straight to the forehead.
You should add that to the old " piano wire around the neck and hands super glued to head " and have epic mega death.
20 seconds or several minutes. A heart attack is just a blockage, part of your heart can die and you can just lay there slowly suffocating with less and less oxygen, gasping for breath that isn't going to help a bit.
I was thinking "best case." As in, heart stops immediately and completely.
Doesn't happen. A heart attack isn't like being shocked so your heart just stops. It's like a clogged pipe and a lump of crap that goes into one of the vessels and slowly chokes that part of the heart.
Whereas an aneurysm in the aorta essentially ends all blood supply the the brain instantly. As well as dropping your blood pressure to zero in the same fraction of a second. You pass out and die before you even know you've got anything other than some heartburn or gas. Also aortic aneurysms are almost completely asymptomatic, so you wouldn't even know it was coming.
But if I had to go, I'd prefer to jump/be dumped out of an airplane at high altitude without a parachute. Pretty awesome last few minutes and I don't think there's any way to not end up instantly, painlessly dead.
There's too many nasty ways to go out. I'm gonna have to look into having a suicide button installed when I retire.
Fill your pockets full of ink vials and become a human rorschach.
You get a harkonen heartplug installed. Then just pull it when it seems terribly inappropriate like during someones really boring speech.

I've also heard that drowning is supposed to be alright, but that makes no sense to me. Drowning sounds horrifying.
I heard drowning is one of the worst ways to die.
If I suddenly had the option between being burned at the stake and drowning to death I'd have to sit down and think it over.
Instant brain death, no head left so no one tries to keep me alive with only a brain stem.
Also, I recently decided the way I least want to day (worst way) would be to be buried alive. Building collapse, anything like that. Being stuck and slowly suffocating sounds like the worst thing ever.

Drowning is far superior to immolation.
Drowning is simple asphyxia, its not the torture of your nerve endings catching fire and your body fat rendering away while your eyes boil WHILE asphyxiating due to inability to breath the hot air.
Dancing to death like in Rite of Spring would be interesting.
