Yeah. I guess if you're that afraid of dying, then dying might cure that fear. And everything else you'll ever experience.
That reminds me of an HP Lovecraft story in which the protagonist, having acquired the ability to peer into the future, sees himself lying helplessly in a vegetative state. To prevent this from happening, he decides to take his life by shooting himself in the head. The attempt is not successful, though--his wounds put him into a vegetative state...
From a suicide note: 'Action cures fear, they taught me. To overcome your fear do the thing that you are afraid of. I was afraid of dying'.
“Razors pain you; rivers are damp; acids stain you; and drugs cause cramp. Guns aren't lawful; nooses give; gas smells awful; you might as well live.”
--Dorothy Parker
