Default If you could learn when you were going to die...

If you could learn the exact day you were going to die, would you want to know it or would you rather not know.

I'd rather not know, or else I'd be too scared of the actual day then

Yes. And then I can try and cheat death lol

Mmm.. do we get to know "how" we are going to die too!

Hopefully in my sleep :S

To be honest.. our death wouldn't happen I bet if we was told the day.. because that day we would probably just hibernate at home! Unless we die in our sleep or have a heart attack on the spot or something..

Or.. oh wait.. the roof just happens to cave in on us.....

I think my life would change too much if I found out the day I'm going to die, I'd probably panic and get really depressed.

I dunno, if it was far away in the future then I guess I'd be more motivated to achieve things with my life before that date, but I think it'd be quite depressing to know :/

It depends on whether I was able to change it or not? So I can't vote yet.

Surely if you know the exact day you were going to day you would be able to stop it happening.. you'd just hang around the A&E waiting room on that day

Well it's better then not knowing and being unaware.. I'd do what that girl does in final destination two and go to one of those mental institution with those basic rooms.. she seemed to survive alright when she was there.

I'm not sure, in some ways I'd like to know, if you find out you're going to die quite young it might encourage you to try and achieve more in the time you have, and then it would also be pretty reassuring and comforting if you find out it's far off in the future. I think I would rather know tbh

I'd want to know, so I could possibly avoid it, but I'd want to know how as well.

It would be no use just knowing the say 20/6/44. If it was a car crash I'd wouldn't get in a car that day. If it was a decease I'd make sure that part of my body was checked regulary to see if it was preventable.

I voted No as think it would be awful knowing that your going to die but then i guess it depends on the circumstances, if you were told you have a long time to live and were going to die being very old then fine but imagine being told you have 10days to live and during those 10days you would be very ill. That would be horrid.

I would say on balance yes, it would give me the chance to make sure I saw and said all I needed to to many people,its so easy to think oh I will do that next month or next year,go an see this person later whatever.
It would also allow me to make sure those I wanted to help or do things for was done and/or set up.

Just becasue I knew the time of my passing, doesn't mean I have to tell anyone that is the case, but it would overall empower me to really do as much as I wanted to and be fully prepared.So yes.
