Ignore death up to the last moment; then, when it can't be ignored any longer, have yourself squirted full of morphia and shuffle off in a coma. Thoroughly sensible, humane and scientific, eh?

Summary

The quote sarcastically suggests an approach to death that involves living in denial and avoiding thinking about it until the very end. The idea is to opt for a painless death by being heavily medicated and slipping away in a peaceful coma. The quote challenges the notion of this approach being sensible, humane, and scientific, implying that it may be detached from the realities and emotions that come with the inevitable concept of death.
