If you had the chance to see the future, and see you die, and found out the cause of your death, would you see or would you refuse?
For me, I don't think I could handle it, I would become paranoid, or it may be something horribly perverse.
Give reasons on your answer.

I have a hard time answering this question. Good question by the way. I guess I'de have to say "NO". I think that if I did know the decisions I make day to day would be entirely effected by the information I received in a negative way. Wow! did I say this was a good question already. Sh...t I don't know, but I guess I never will regardless. Anyway, I hope this helps and happy holidays.

Absolutely not, if I knew I wouldn't be able to live my life as me. I would be too busy trying to live a perfect life and that's just silly. My life is full of ups, downs and mistakes, but I will never regret anything. My experiences especially the bad ones teach me and make me who I am. If i knew when and how I was going to die I would probably be trying to avoid sadness, pain , anger, essentially the things that make me human and make the good things so good.

I couldn't choose to see it. I have a phobia of dying, and if I knew how I would die, I obviously would not do that thing anymore (ex. if I died from a car crash, i wouldn't drive anymore; if I died in my sleep, I would become an Insomniac)
I think life is about living it while you can, Life is short, but you can decide to make it last forever if you just try.

No, because it would always be in the back of my mind and make it hard for me to enjoy life. I'm the type who goes to Disneyland and am sad cause I know I have to leave when it closes. My whole LIFE would be like that if I knew how I was gonna die.

No harm seeing it though it may affect me in ways unknown to me.To know is be half prepared and for the other half,I don't have to care right now.May be,I could finish some important things well in time or make my end less painful.Then,to be ready could be the other half of the preparation.

No, I wouldn't want to know because then I would be altering my actions to deal with that day. I would be living for that day, in a sense and when that day came, I think I would try to do something to avoid it, therefore just making it that much more miserable.
By not knowing, I can live my life thinking I will still be here tomorrow. I can enjoy myself and live in naivety and ignorance.

Maybe I would just to see if I could prevent it some how, or at least be able to know when you that I could make the best out of my time, and prepare my kids.

I think I would. I would also like to know when so I would be motivated to get the best out of life until then.
