Well sure, at least regarding the pain part. My preference would be massive heart attack at the peak of sex.

Been doing the charity thing all my adult life. Choosing when and how I die is a control of premium value, however selfish. Quantity of life doesn't interest me as much as quality of life.

I really do wish hedonism and epicureanism got more respect—after all, the greatest joys in life are often communion—sharing food, experiences, stories. Only very shallow interpretations focus on physical pleasures.
