If you could.?

If you could find out when you were going to die and there is nothing you could do to change it would you want to know? and why?

Answers:
No. I want to go quietly in my sleep, like my grandfather did. Not shrieking like the passengers in his car. :)
No. I want it to come as a surprise. And what a surprise it will be!
People should worry more about living than dying.
death is just a process.I don't want to live for ever.So if I get to know,good for me.
yes.i would because id look at my life and make some more changes immediately that i plan to do but often forget to
yes i would want to know so i could say good bye to everyone and do what ever i always wanted to do before i die
no cause then u will go crazy and probably kill yourself before the day comes
well i would want to know because if it was a terrible way to die i would want to try to avoid it or make it a better way
yes cuz if i know i'd die really soon i would live my life to the fullest instead of just sitting around watching days of our lives for the past week
no because id spend to much time worrying about that day, plus any one of us could walk out of our house in the morning and not return we just have to live each day as its the last, nothing else we can do
Yes so i can prepare for my sacred death and bring peace and joy to everyone.
no.
yea then id do watever i want and even if they arrested me i b dying soon so i wouldnt care
yes, I would like to know.

So i can spend time with loved ones, right any wrongs ive done, tell my boss what i think of her, sort out my finances and life insurance, take out a HUGE loan and travel to places ive always wanted to go, try weird food, have plenty of sex, and spend time laying on a beach just listening to the waves swooshing up the beach.
I believe that every decision we may influences the decision..So if I knew I was dying Fri. I don't believe I could jump from a plane without a chute of some sort on Thurs. and live. Too weird a concept for me.
Depends on far ahead I would know. I'd hate to go through my entire life from birth to adulthood, etc., knowing the exact date of my death. But it might be nice to know a few weeks/months ahead of time so I could get my affairs in order.

I think there was a "fantasy" movie about a group of beings that knew from birth how and when they would die. They were perpetually sad people.
No, I love life too much to let that bit of knowledge dictate my future choices. And yes it would dictate.
I don't want to know,
I want to live life to the full and contribute until I can't any more, then go bungee jumping without the cord so I don't end up dribbling and having my batty wiped for me.

That time could be 50, 70, 90

Don't want to know.

PS. It didn't do the cyclops much good in Krull.
Yes and then I would go out and do all the things I ever wanted to do in life within reason Cedar Point Disney Fun Stuff. I would take time to talk to the best Minister in the Church and bargan my life with GOD a bit and come to acceptance with the fact I will Die IS IT WELL WITH MY SOUL. Go to my friends and have a great party within reason and plan my funeral. I also want my friends to party after my funeral. I don't want them to cry for me. I will see them in Heaven someday. I am a Christian and I fear death but with faith in Jesus I have not doubt that He will be the first one I will see. I am sure. PRAY
No because if I don't have enough phobia's let's add one more to the list. I will have a fear of impending doom of a specific day and it will be reality not phobia..ahhhhhh Even worse:-)
no its scary
actualy i wouldnt want to know why because theres gonna be a day when every body has to die and life is to short to sit up and worry about when your gonna die so i think thats stupid not saying you personaly but i think the thought is.
All of a sudden there are a lot of dead questions! What if this were your last day or hour. Who would you be with? Etc. Etc.

I have to admit, that is a good dead question. It makes you stop and think. I think I would want to know. Then I could plan ahead, so to speak. Yes, I would want to do some things before I die that I might not do if I didn't know. I would spend more time with my own siblings and of course, my children. I would smoke again. I wouldn't care if I knew when I was going to die. I could smoke and not feel bad or guilty.

I am very organized and I like to be prepared.
Heck no way, life is short enough as it is and I want to make the most of it now without the worry that my time would almost be up, somethings are just better not knowing about.
I definitely would because I feel that having any date set in stone would make we want to accomplish as much as possible before it comes. You could also be more daring but w/caution: If you jump off a bridge you could be a vegetable but still technically alive. And you still wouldn't know if you were going to how you were going to die (quickly/slowly) so theoretically you get get something disease that takes years to slowly, painfully kill you or you could get hit by a bus.
Well, no. I would worry and, I am already to much of a worry wart.
yeah. i would want to know. because if i still had time left it would want to use it wisly and apologise to anyone ive aver been mean to and see all my friends and family. Also in a way i would be kinda happy because then i would get to meet my dad for the first time.
No I wouldn't want to know because I would get worried sick thinking about it and couldn't enjoy the time I have left.
Definitely Not.

We all know that we are going to die, right? That is the only thing that is for sure in this life, it is a promise made to us when we are born. Wether it be tomorrow or in 50 years.

Every second we live is more beautiful because we know it might be our last.

Why torture ourselves with knowing the exact date and time of our end? It is not given to us because we would not know how to handle it. We already have enough stress to live with, right?

I would think that the only way to be truly ready is to think about the consecuences of each of our actions. each and every single one. It will affect us in our last trip.
Never..

The anticipation will eventually send you into an asylum before you are even dead.

We are human. it is normal, for us to stress and get depressed about small matters. Now, toking about death.. isnt it a huge thing. Its like the fullstop to the neverending journey of life.

As for me,
" Dance like theres nobody watching,
and live like theres no tomoro coming.."
No, because I firimly believe in (a Christian) God, and I believe the future is His domain and His alone.

I do, however, feel that we should all ACT like we knew that today would be our last day on this planet, and that we were expecting the next step be a face-to-face Interview with God. I think that this is a much better philosophical question.
