But it would be quick, no? I'm sure it's very painful but terminal cancer can't be much fun either. I'd like to hear from those who've had dissections and lived to tell the tale. If they'd been 90 when they occurred, what would they have chosen, knowing what they know now?

The doctor told my mom that it would be a quick moment of sharp pain and then it's over. It does sound a lot better than a prolonged illness.

I guess it depends on what the definition of quick is and how the dissection and rupture proceeds. Drowning is probably quicker in many cases.
