I agree, comments like that are annoying. On the other hand, I like to give people the benefit of the doubt and assume that there is no intent to offend anyone. People tend to say things like that about anything they fear. I've heard people say they'd rather die than have a limb amputated, or be blind, use a wheel chair...even have a surgical scar! I've had people tell me, "How can you give yourself shots? I'd rather die!" So, I figure it is more of just an expression.

But, faced with a real life or death choice, you all know that life trumps death, and people are impressed by their own ability to deal with whatever is thrown at them.

We all get sensitive when something that is a part of us is described as a fate worse than death.
