I am on both sides...I would want to know so I can plan where all of my stuff will go and so I know when my life will come to an end and live the end of my life to the fullest. I would not want to know when I die because things happen when they happen and I sorta think it should just be the way it was destined to be. Thanks for your time and answers.
P.S. I would like to know if you would want to know ahead of time when you die or not and the reason why you picked that. Thanks again.

Absolutely not!
For me, each day is full of its own joys and sorrows. Its a new day to discover, to be put to the best use I possibly can. If I knew that on, say, july 12, 2008 I was going to die, then every single day I would wake and know that it was getting closer. No matter what I had resolved to do, how much good I intended, I know that I would not do it. I'd be too worried, too anxious and in the end would drive everyone I loved away with my own constant confusion.

Knowing when I would die...interesting! I think I would want to know so I could plan and maybe if it is going to be sooner than anticipated, I would do the things I put off. A European vacation...who knows! I know that if I did know then I would probably quit waiting for the other shoe to drop...I do wait for things to happen instead of being as happy as I could be. (Maybe a little self-fulfilling prophesy there!) Anyway, I never thought I would get to my 20s so anything beyond that has been the cherry on the sundae. Peace!

Yes, I would take it for many reasons.......
To ensure that I fufill all my life long goals and dreams
To know I have a deadline and when it is
To make sure I have enough time to tell everyone I love what I need to
To know why I will die and how
And to make sure I know what day I will die so I won't have to do homework that year if my life is coming to an end like someone else said!!!

I'd probably want to know, because then i could do anything, because i'd know that i wouldn't die. I could do anything. But it'd also be scared, cause what if you died young or in a very painful way?
You'd also get obsessive about counting down when you are going to die. I'd never be able to tell my mom when i was going to die, because i love her so much.
I'm scared of dieing because i don't want to leave my mom and everyone else. I fear not having enough time to make a footprint on this earth. I fear i won't have enough time to right the wrongs, I fear that I'd leave more hatred than fear. I fear i might leave behid sorrow, not happiness.
I want enough time to say i'm sorry, to say i love you, to say what i need to say.

No, I would be too busy trying to hurry up to get so much done that I would not have the time to do the little things that really matter in life, like spending time with the ones I love, helping those less fortunate, stopping to smell the roses, etc.

Yes, I would want to know. In everyday life, I don't really have a sense of how important each task is, in terms of my lifespan. If I knew, I could prioritize, and I would also be able to make sure that I had no regrets before I died. I don't believe in predestination.

Yes, so I don't waste time doing homework if I only have another year to live! I expect to live well over the age of one hundred anyway, so its not a problem!

Yes. And some people I don't like would have a reason for worry.
