When I think of a horrible way to go I think of anything man-inflicted. Because I think of torture. Now that's a sick and horrid way to go. Cancer's pretty bad, but at least it's not (italic :/)motivated(/italic) to break down your will to live.

It was a toss up between burning and drowning. I picked drowning because I've always had a slight fear of water and drowning. Scares me alot!

I'm going with drowning.  Although it may not be as painful as some of the others, I think I read somewhere in a book that it's just absolutely terrifying because it's basically a fight betwixt your body and your mind.  You know that you should continue holding your breath because breathing in the water will kill you, but eventually your body is screaming with the need to take a breath and your mind can't take it anymore.  It breaks you mentally and you're forced to suck in the water and eventually die.  It may not hurt, but it breaks a person, it takes their rationality from them before they die.

I've heard asphyxiation (particularly drowning) is a terrible, terrible way to go.

I hate deep water, and having your head underwater is basically the equivalent. Personally, drowning by far.

I think something, (from the choices you have put) like drowning because it takes time and you would have to suffer until you die.

I would have to say terminal illness, but not like that of Cancer or AIDS. Alzheimer's or Huntington's diseases would be a terrible way to die. You're constantly lost. You don't remember who you are. You can't control your body, and eventually, you simply die. Your brain effectively shuts down over a long period of time and it is incredibly painful and said to watch.

i went for Man Inflicted, because if you were tortured, over a long period of time then murdered, well thats just the worst way to die in my opinion.

terminal illness- i'd hate the idea of knowing that i'm going to die for a significant amount of time.
and also being buried alive would be really terrible.

Isn't it when you throw up while unconscience and die drowning on your own vomit?

Being burned. Drowning honestly wouldn't be that bad... and yes i hate the feeling of not breathing. But you gotta remember when you're drowning you are trying to stay on top of the water and gasping for a breath... you will eventually just breath in water, start coughing and suck in more and more water and be unconcious in  a minute. Plus you would be pumped full of adrenaline which makes pain a lot less intense.

If you're lit on fire you're basically fucked and there isnt shit you can do unless you happen to be near a pool.

On terms of a frightening death, would be the case of doomsday. Imagine scientists saying we all have 12 days : 8 hours : 32 minutes : 34 seconds until a two mile wide asteroid strikes the pacific ocean. Imagine, knowing that it would be over for all.  Yes, it'd be painless, but just having to know, and to think of loosing everything, and erasing all life from the planet Earth. Pretty frightening I think.
