I believe that that consciousness continues after the body dies and don't fear the dying process as long is it is peaceful. I have seen people going through the dying process some are fearful and others are peaceful. I don't believe that a God in the traditional sense is waiting on the other side, but I feel a reunion will occur with those that have made the transition. Of course I can't prove it and don't even care to. I also don't fear becoming old I have made peace with the fact that I have finite years to live. In my family the children take turns holding the parents hand as the person is going through the dying process it seems to bring the person great comfort as they are going through the process.
With some of the strange mechanics that have been reported in the field of quantum physics, phenomena that some claim go contrary to logic such as Schrodinger's Cat and wave-particle duality, one is more inclined to be open-minded with the existence of broader realities and an after-life.

A slight aside, but how does wave-particle duality violate logic?

This is related to work by John von Neumann, showing that the Distributive Law fails in logical operations that involve quantum measurements. It's pretty much refuted now, though it takes an afternoon or so to explain why.
Perhaps for a later thread.

As I understand it, the "brain" in the "brain in a vat" argument is actually used as an allegory for the mind, separate from brain/body.
And all this time, I thought the saying was "brain in a cat."
