Yes. Life is all I know, and death is something entirely different to anything I know. When the time comes, will there even be an "I" to know it?
It makes biological sense to be afraid of death, so it's definitely normal and healthy (unless it gets to the point of obsessing about it).

Yes, I am afraid.
If I were not, I wouldn't look both ways before I cross the street, buckle my seat belt, refrain from taking large amounts of drugs or drinking large amounts of alcohol... The point is, I try to avoid it whenever I can. I want to continue living and I am afraid to die. It is not only instinct but my own personal feelings as well. I want to live long enough to achieve my goals in life.
I know that death is a natural part of life but so is miscarriage, depression, disease and so on. I will try to avoid all of the aforementioned whenever I can.

Well, this is quite a morbid question, but I will anwer it like this.
I don't think that anyone is afraid of death in itself. I think it is the time, place, and reason that we are afraid of. For example, dying right here, right now due to the attack of a crocodile would be a pretty scary thing, but dying 50 years from now due to an old failing heart is not a very frightening though. We are all going to die, that is a natural part of life, but I think it's the situation that most people fear, not just death within itself.
