How would you choose to die?

So this question may seem a bit morbid and I apologise for that. I've been thinking about death recently. I won't go into all the details, but the lives of myself and my immediate family have been threatened by other people... well one other person this past month. But anyways, it got me thinking about how I'd choose to die if I got to dictate the when the where and the how. I want to die in my sleep when I'm an older man. Not terribly old though, because I don't ever want to lose my mind or have to live in a nursing home or anything like that. But when I'm old, but not too old that I can't take care of myself, I'd choose to just fall asleep one night and not wake up. It's simple, painless and seems to me the best way to go. So how about all of you here? If you had a choice, what would you want?

I think everyone would wish to die peacefully in a sleep. I want it that way too. I do not want to die too old nor die too young. I have many things to do, I don't want to die having unfinished business because it is very hard to leave my loved ones worrying about the things I was not able to finish. Every night, when I go to sleep, I would always ask God to give me life as I wake up and make me reach and accomplish my goals. It is not bad anyway to always ask for forgiveness and say I love you to our loved ones because we really never know when it's our time.
