Yes, I would like to know the exact time & date of my death in order to not overbuy perishable food items & have them go to waste upon my death! I could dispose of my earthly goods as I see fit & not leave a mess for the people who are still living!

If one knew the exact time they would do, they would probably stop living life normally and not focus on normal routine, which wuld disrupt the world. For instance, if the doctors and carpenters and others knew when they would die (say in two days or whatever), they wouldn't care to go on being doctors and carpenters and stuff since they'll be like: I'm gonna die anyway, so what the heck? That way, nothing gets done!
Now and then,

I don't want to be told. This is not because I am afraid, it's because our destiny changes infinitely each tick of the clock with every decision we make. In other words, the time of my death may have changed a dozen times since I started writing this, so why concentrate on something that is not valid now?

I have had 3 near death experiences, so DEATH is no big deal In fact, you NEVER Die! you just leave your body the final time. Knowing when; would allow you to get your affairs in order instead of leaving a big MESS for others to clean up.

Hell no I wouldnt wanna know that. Just like someone else said it would be like being on death row. You would probaly be ok until like eight years before your due date. Then you would be miserable. In the last few years you would be living in fear and probaly even go insane....so no I would most definetly not want to know that.

If I new that I would die in 50 years or so, that would be so cool. I would be invincible, I could do whatever I want and be sure that I wouldn't die for 50 years. I would do some pretty crazy stuff at that point. no need for details...

We have the power to end our lives when we wish. So partly we do choose to know, even if we choose to not. However, we can all assume that death is coming at somepoint.

No, I wouldn't want to know. Then I'd be too focused on and worried about it to appreciate the life that I had left.
