Answer:
I think it all comes down to man's fear of the unknown. We have an innate sense of fear regarding anything that we know to be strange and untested. Death, I think it's safe to say, is the THE most untested thing humans know of. This is because even though this seems obvious, death never happens to the same person twice, no one knows what happens after you die and death is a very permanent thing Life on the other hand in something we witness every day and we have unfathomable amounts of experience with it. It's the one thing we are absolutely always in contact with. Yet it is also a very fragile thing. So we grasp on to the fragile familiar thing and avoid the permanent unknown state.

I am afraid of taking my last breath. Not being able to breathe is really scary to me. I hope I die in my sleep.

Because we don't know exactly what will happen. Humans are naturally afraid of the unknown. That's why we are afraid of the dark.

I've never understood the big thing about death. Sure everyone wants a long life and wants to be healthy but we can't have life without death. They are so intrinsically linked together that they cant exist without each other. In my opinion those that do should stop worrying about death and concentrate on life. We are living in a paradise and are on vacation here until we cease to be what we call alive. So go out, enjoy life and... Have fun! Mistress Dolly

We just are. It's just one of those things that no one wants to do but everyone knows they have to. That's why we try to stay healthy so we can live longer. I don't think it's the dying that scares us it's the fact of dying before we grow old and live our lives.

Because death is the end of our existance.
