I would choose firing squad too, rather than be put down like an animal.
I would prefer a public execution too, so one can wave, nod and wink at friends, ask for a last cigarette, smoke in a public place ....
In Tudor times beheadings were reserved only for the aristocracy. They made a final speech, put their heads on the block and then raised their arms to indicate they were ready for the chop. Female members of the aristocracy were supposed to take it like a man too.

THE VOICE OF REASON Solon, (born c. 630 BCE—died c. 560 BCE), Athenian statesman, known as one of the Seven Wise Men of Greece (the others were Chilon of Sparta, Thales of Miletus, Bias of Priene, Cleobulus of Lindos, Pittacus of Mytilene, and Periander of Corinth). Solon ended exclusive aristocratic control of the government, substituted a system of control by the wealthy, and introduced a new and more humane law code. He was also a noted poet.
