I'm not afraid of death. I'm afraid of dying.

My main concern is for an end that painfully lingers, involves long-term degeneration, or results in some sort of helplessness. But a death that's just flip-the-switch, fade-to-black doesn't bother me at all.

This. Death itself will just be a return to the same nothingness that we experienced before we were born. We experienced nothing before we were born, and we will experience nothing again after we are dead. The process of actually dying though can be scary, because there are many slow and painful ways to die. That is what I actually dread most is a slow and painful death.
