Would you want to know when and how your going to die? And why would you want to know or not know?

There actually are two ways:
I would like to know, so you'd do all you wanted to do in your whole life before that date and you might be able to try and prevent it happening.
But I would also like to not know, because it does freak you out and in the end you're just going to have heaps of time thinking about how you're going to prevent it, avoid it, and other factors.
Are you doing a discussion/ exposition? or is it just an outta the blue question? Cos i did a debate kinda thing on that n i was arguing that it's better if you cant predict the future. I can send it to you if you want, just gimme ur email
My emails pwettycheriam@yahoo.com.au, tell me if u want it

I wouldn't want to know when I am going to die, because it would keep me from thinking about living. Knowing when your time on Earth is going to run out is absurd. Besides, just because you'll die doesn't mean you'll be dead. :) In other words, just because your body has died doesn't mean your spirit will die as well.

No, I would prefer to have it like it is because I would be anxious. Even if death is not a bad thing, I would be sad to know. It would make things less wonderful. I like to dream and hope and wonder. Know this would make life harder than it already is for me. But this is only my opinion.

I would like to know now.
I wouldn't care about it when I was a teenager but I'd like to know now. It would help me plan my life better. I don't really care how...just when.

I would have to say no, because if I knew, then I would worry too much about it, and not enjoy whatever time I have left to live.

Not really. I just want to know how good I did to live.

Nope...cuz i already live each day like its my last...I already died once in a boating accident and they brought me back to life...so I guess I'm not finished here yet...and there isnt any big, white light, or angels or stuff....for me it was just black...it wasn't my time...
