    No, I wouldn't fear death even then. I might worry about the
    possibility
    of pain. I might worry about the injustice and arbitrariness of it all.
    But mostly I would be concerned for those who depend on me here and
    now.
      The degree of this concern would depend on my age when this happens,
    the number of those dependants, and their degree of dependency.

Have you never heard of, or seen, courage in the face of death? Often 
taken as the true test of manhood!
