This week is Dying Matters Awareness week. Appropriate to the occasion, ComRes has released a survey today (also available here). Here are a few of the findings:
- Just 15% of people would like to live forever and only 9% would like to live to over 100.
- The most common age at which people would like to die is aged 81-90 (27%). Younger people are more likely than older people to want to live forever.
- More people are scared of dying in pain (83%) than of being told they are dying (67%), dying alone (62%) or dying in hospital (59%). Women are more scared of dying than men.
- The older people get the more likely they are to think that quality of life is more important than the age they live to, with 81% of people aged 65 or over saying this, compared with 58% of people aged 18-24.
