Hmm, I don't care one way or another, actually - death is death. We all die, there's no big deal there.


Of course if you knew when you were going to die you could make your arrangements, meet friends etc. But why not do that anyway? Why not live every day, every week, every month to the full, as if it was a treasure - as indeed it is.

Whether one lives one day longer or eighty years longer, every moment of live is precious and needs to be LIVED.

And you know something? - if you do that.. it suddenly doesn't matter when you die, or whether you know about it in advance or not. You have lived, and lived well. When death comes for you, you will be able to look him right in the eye and smile in his very teeth, and die well.

A good life, well lived; a good death, bravely met - what more could one possibly need? The time of it's coming is irrelevant.

I wouldnt want to know because in my religion when you find out you are dying for sure and you know it is guarenteed like if you have cancer or AIDS then you cannot ask for forgiveness. I want to ask god forgiveness for my bad deeds and i want them accepted.

no I don't wanna know its too creepy.I'd rather die not knowing if I would die and how and die relax than die all stressed out because i know how I will die and be scared.the only thing I hope when i will die is to die fast.

i would absolutely love to know, really. i'd get so dam curious, but i think i'd be strong enough to resist the temptation. what fun is life if you know when you're gonna die... you can't enjoy every moment as it comes and you'd try to cram everything in at once. i'd much prefer that it was kept discrete so i could enjoy my life not knowing if i'd die tommorow or another 90years away! (haha thats abit to long actually -__-v)

I'm too curious though I guess I would find out anyway lol.

I guess its a yes and a no because when you know it you can live your last moment trying to do things you like and be with people you love and if you don't know at least you don't have the idea that you will die in your mind I would hate living with this idea even for 24 hours.

I don´t want to know it, what is ok because I think there would never exist anything that predicts our future. Because future is the juxtaposition of too many things, some prepared, some casual and we just can´t know that we are gonna die if we catch this train or the next. And it´s ok this way, because if you knew that a marked day you are going to die you will pass the rest of your life anxious and stressed thinking that time is running out instead of just living like you want to.

If I know when and how I'm going to die, then I can try to change that.

For example: if I know for a fact that I will be shot in the back of the head during a bank robbery at a certain bank on a certain day, then I won't go to that bank on that day, or anywhere close to that day. (Truthfully, I would probably NEVER go to that bank if I knew in advance that I was meant to die there).

That would be cool and everything - being able to cheat death, at least temporarily (eventually old age will kill us all - or God will come back, one or the other). But, I believe that we die when it is our time to die. So, if I'm not blasted with a .45 round, then I will probably be run over by a speeding SUV. Or maybe I will be shot on that day, but at some other place.

So...knowing in advance, as far as I'm concerned, wouldn't help me out very much.

Knowing when to die will destroy the very essence of being human.

People will just kill anyone he wants, sin anytime he wants and ask for forgiveness before dying. That's very uncool!

One of the reasons for not knowing death is to test men's faith. How would you prepare on something you can't see coming, sounds like faith ha?

I don't fear death. But if I find out by accident when I'm going to die, then I'd panic but not to the extreme that I commit crime. I will try to fulfill as much things as possible before that time happens.

Of course i want to know in which day i would possibly die, wouldn't you?

I mean, don't you all want to live forever? Don't you all want to live, at least, for a very long time?

I would want to know, of course.
