That sounds like a mental illness that should be treated with some sort of anti-anxiety medication.

I'm not sure that medicating the general population to numb their most basic survival instincts is such a great idea. Do you want a bunch of people driving around with no fear of death? I don't...

Another word for someone who doesn't fear death is "reckless."

It's a mental illness not to fear death. Most don't fear it because they are ignorant about how close it is.
