Perhaps it’s got something with losing a few family members when I was young or maybe that near-death experience just stuck with me. If you ask me, I’d say, “yes, a good death exists when there is no pain such as when a person slips away in his or her sleep.”

and one ‘silly’ one because the former questions were fairly serious:   What do you imagine is inside a baseball?

I’d imagine there’d be a hard core like the Earth.
