You did not formulate a good question... From my years of experience in the world of mathematics... There is no such thing as death that can be calculated, it's because death is not numeric. You should have asked whether the time of death can be estimated, by the time you were born.... If that is your point, I say, you can't... Because "time" is in a straight line... what I mean is, the future doesn't exists, so as the past. There is only present... and there can be no other time other than the present time. With that, we can conclude, the time of death cannot be predicted.. because simply, it's not statistics... like in MATH.

You cannot, since there are too many variables that tie into the time you have to live. Will you smoke, will you drink, will you do drugs, will you suffer an accident, will you be murdered, will you get a terminal illness, how often will you get sick, what is your family background, will you excersice, how often will you excersice, what type of food will you eat, how much food will you eat, how clean is your environment, how much smog gets in your house, the quality of your food and water, etc etc. The list goes on and on. With all these variables, that you cannot possibly know the aswers to when you are born, you will never be able to find out the time of death by calculating the time you are born.

Are you asking if it can actually be told how long a person will live and when they will die? If so, that is not possible. People die at all ages and for many different reasons, even unknown reasons. If you are referring to a general life span without considering the possibilities of health problems, etc., I still don't think then can and whatever they come up with, would just be a estimated guess.

There are insurance actuaries who would like to think so but life is far to complex for such a calculation. I mean if we could look at DNA, genealogy, family history, wealth, geography, I'm sure folks could come up with a general estimate, but we are terribly unpredictable creatures and a move, a healthy or unhealthy lifestyle, and mostly our level of happiness tends to affect our lifespan radically.

Life insurance agencies have actuarial tables that will predict when a person will die, based on statistics. But, a lot of that includes environmental issues (smoking, diseases, etc) that cannot be assumed at the point of birth.
That being said, there is a 100% probability that everyone will die eventually.

This comes close to predicting your death based on a variety of health style factors:

Sometimes you get hit by a bus when you're young. Sometimes you die in your sleep when your old. Sometimes you get hit by a bus when your old.Sometimes youget sick and die when your young.
Sounds like your only talking about people who die of old age. What are the stats on that since your doing calculations?

Wait until someone dies, and do the math. That's the only way. Otherwise, it's a complete guess.

If you smoke, you can - 11 minutes per stick of cigarette taken.
