Because it is that idea of stepping into the great unknown. Nobody really knows what awaits after this life. Heaven? Hell? Eternal "sleep"? None of us can really be certain what will happen after we die, so we don't want to die just in case it does turn out to be simply cutting to a state of no longer living.
