Mine would probably be Rabies.
There is a certain cruel and unusual method of execution that I have some knowledge of. I remember it involving being force-fed honey and cream and then being left to rot in your own excrement.
Rated from most painless to most painful - most painful comes in dead last, so to speak.
Well that's one thing that's becoming clear. It depends on what you fear, not what is objectively "worst".
Is pain worse than the isolation and hopelessness of dying unreachable, upside-down and alone in Nutty Putty cave? Or is pain worse than dying with no emotions but fear and horror, like with rabies? Or is pain worse than the slow, inevitable fading of the self that comes with Alzheimer's, dementia, or prion disease? Or how about being in the hands of hostile enemies whose joy is to give you a slow, gruesome death?
Where we die is irrelevant - we all die alone. Upside down in a ravine... as long as it doesn't hurt. Death comes for all of us - I simply don't want it to hurt.
Alzheimer's, Dementia, anything neurological I think.
I've seen enough people die of diseases to know that I don't want that. I'd rather be crushed to death or hit by a car or break my neck falling then having to suffer for months or years and know that death is coming.
Fire.
Any way whatsoever after my kids, including with the knowledge that they will expire shortly after me.
Hopefully not asphyxiation.
Yeah no
Killed by family
Watching your friends and family go through it before you do would be the worst.
Fire.
