Simply, electronically, with ease.
(Kinda like a Microsoft software upgrade.)1 -
With a smile on my face. Make of that what you will1

I actually want my death to be something painful. I want to be well aware of it at the moment. I always assumed I'd go in a car wreck, but hopefully not for a very long time.
I think watching my mom die that way, on a lot of pain medicine, unaware of anything around her made me not want to go that way. I don't ever want to be without my sensibilities. If dying is the last thing I do here, I want to experience it. I want to feel it and be completely aware of what's going on. I want it to be pretty quick though. I don't want the chance to say my goodbyes to people.1 -

For a long time I thought cancer was the worst thing that could happen to a person, but I watched my mom's mother slowly fade away from Alzheimer's and now I live in mortal terror of that happening to me. That's one of the reasons I've started working out and monitoring what I eat again. My husband and I have a joking agreement that if it happens, he'll smother me with one of our cats. He won't need to, though - I have a plan.
Having said that, if I had to choose a way to die I'd go with freezing to death. Second would be something instantaneous like a ruptured aneurysm.
In real life if I get killed it will probably be because of my work. My job has the potential to be dangerous but I believe that saying, "Fear not death, for the hour of your doom is set and none may escape it." In other words, when it's your time it's your time. Sure, I could stay home where it's "safe," but who's to say I wouldn't trip over the dog, fall down the stairs, and break my neck? I've known too many people who got killed in "perfectly safe" situations and people who came out of incredibly dangerous situations unscathed. So, when it's time...it's time.
And really, I'd rather have my obituary read "she was killed in a C-17 crash in Mali" rather than "she died at work late Friday afternoon and we didn't find her until Tuesday because Monday was a holiday."2 -
I walk outside a lot so I figure I'll get hit by a car.
Ironically, it'll probably happen in my apartment or office building's parking lots.0 -
I'm not going to. My heart will go on forever.2

I've thought about this a lot. I have a genetic disease that caused kidney failure by 19. I later learned, after 15 years of voice lessons, that it also causes hearing loss. I have a lot of different angles from which I could approach the dying question.
I choose:
-on safari
-surfing in the middle of the pacific ocean
-on stage at the end of an amazing performance--it was too much for my heart!
I don't want to die of the flu because someone didn't wash their hands. I don't want to die because I gave up on myself. Getting old isn't necessary. I've lived 20 years past my expiration date, and I've had an interesting life!
Now to see whose answer elicits the most laughter. MFP won't let me down!5 -

I was once in a car accident while on a business trip. A co-worker was driving a rental car and got sideways on a freeway.
My initial thought was: "Oh *kitten* !! I'm going to die in a Chevrolet."
Thankfully we all walked away unharmed.
If I'm going to be hit and killed by a car, I just hope it's something nice, like a Jaguar; yeah... a Jaguar would do.

Die in my sleep , would be my wish.0

I used to simply want to die well - in the service of my fellow man. I had always been drawn to high risk occupations - police & military and adopted the motto of my unit "So that other's may live". During this time I saw a lot of death - some aware some unaware of their situation. Between this and a few other instances in my life I learned the importance of living in the moment and never putting off what you can do today. Never leave kind words unsaid.
I hope to have as few regrets as possible before I die.

I want to be one of those people who goes into a convenience store at night for something and is caught in a robbery, cut down in a hail of gun-fire as I leap in front of another unsuspecting customer, saving their live(s). News-story: Tonight we mourn the loss of a local woman as she gives her own life to save blah, blah, blah. Film at eleven1

I want to gorge on beans, then light a fart big enough to launch me into space so my corpse can sail across the Milky Way to one day be discovered by aliens and brought back to life on their planet.2

Die in the midst of an adrenalin rush.
Be it a rollercoaster ride, bungee jumping, speeding on a motorcycle etc0 -
I would like to change my answer to "having my nuts bit off by a Laplander"
