No, I wouldn't fear death even then.
Then you're either the bravest man who ever lived or you're full of
bullshit. I think it's far more likely that you're full of bullshit.
A lot of people have faced firing squads with calm dignity. I don't
think I am particularly brave, but the thought of death itself -- being
dead, that is -- does not frighten me in the least. As I said, if you
have dependants you would worry about the effect on them. But that does
not mean that you would fear for yourself.

With several bullets inserted into your brain with high power rifles
you're head will explode within a fraction of a second and you're not
going to feel any pain, but you're sure as hell going feel some fear the
night before thinking about it.
