You will still feel the dread as you are falling. If it isn't perfect you will still have a few final moments at impact.

This opinion from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jiroemon_Kimura always stuck with me: "He credited eating small portions of food (hara hachi bun me) as the key to a long and healthy life."

I believe that we would find out the hard way that consciousness exists as a unique instance, so even if I were to suddenly spawn a perfect copy of myself 5 meters away from me, while the original me completely evaporated, you would see someone acting just like me, but from my perspective I'd be dead and the clone would feel as if they had just popped into existence.

I am an avid euthanasia supporter since that experience, it would be so easy to go like I've been put under that I would instantly take that option over slowly withering away in a random other way.

Instant teleport between the two continuities of self-awareness, and unlike when you sleep, there is no sense of how much time may have passed. So if you were to be somehow rebuilt by a supercomputer a billion years after your death or something, it would feel like an instant.

Since I've been put under for surgery, I've known what not existing is like. I'm not afraid being dead, just of the road that leads there.

Oh having had a life-threatening cardiovascular problem was perspective-changing enough. It's been fixed but not the mental component of it.

Lasting for over 10 years, with 30 to 90 victims, the organized hunt for gay men remains one of Australia's darkest secrets.
