By the first option, I mean something like you could be cured of whatever host of physical chronic illnesses you might currently have, even if the cure isn't currently known, but you will still get old and your body will naturally degrade; you still could die of an injury or accident, and so on. If you have a crippling fear of these kinds of things that counts - you could choose not to fear the inevitable decline of the body. Basically you could be your idealized version of you living your best life, but you cannot be superhuman!
The second is pretty obvious I think. Dying painlessly in your sleep seems like a cop out but I'll allow it given the radical change allowed in the other option. Others include dying in the company of loved ones who will "get it"; no hostility or whatever. Again, no breaking the rules of physics etc. but any logically possible scenario is okay.
So...which do you choose? And why, if you care to share?
