What do you think about the idea of knowing when you will die?

[Elvis1+]

Well, to me I don't want to know because,
It will become a pressure on me

As a knee-jerk reaction, I'd say it would definitely be beneficial to know when you're going to die--but this is coming from someone who hates not knowing things. However, after giving it some thought, I think it would NOT be a good idea for people to know when they're going to die because it takes away the mystery and appreciation of our everyday lives. Unless the date in which you will die is 100% accurate, thus nothing you do up until that point would be fatal or detrimental to your life, then I could see the appeal in this knowledge. Because then you could basically do whatever activity you want, no matter how dangerous or life-threatening, and be reassured that you won't die from said activity.

Needless to say, it's an interesting topic to think about!

it can be a very interesting topic because for someone to know when he will die, i know they will try or do everything that they heart desire before dieting. the topic will help people to prepare for it.

Heck no, I would never want to know. I would not be able to live my life if I were consumed with the ticking by of the clock, painfully aware of what each tick signified. As far as wanting to know if I was going to die as a result of a violent crime...yeah, in that case I would want to know to at least feel like I had a fighting chance to avoid it.

Well franking saying I don't want to know how much time i have left and when i'll die.. Life is precious and want to live it. Sometimes it's better to remain something unknown. If we do get to know when we are going to die, it'll create extra burden to our mind. We will rush to do everything possible to live but forget to live freely

[pambennington]

I don't want to know.

Knowing when you're die has its pros and cons. One can have the chance to make amends or do things they've been wanting to do but just didn't have the courage before when they know that they will soon not have the opportunity to do so. The bad side is when a person holds grudge and could not accept his death and might do something bad in order to take revenge or just to cheat on his death.

[Afoaayoe]

I do not think there is something bad in telling me when i will die, but even the doctors cannot say exactly what time talk less of a machine which can make errors. What about a criminal that been sentenced to death. what would such a person do? Thanks for your question and concern.

[Anibejp2]

To me, Such knowledge can reduce the life span of a man due to fear of death which can brings about death. Having the sole knowledge that one day you will surely report back is better than the knowledge that one is going to die on 21th March, 2018 (knowledge of the exact date of your own death). I bet you, this knowledge will strip man of his life even before the stipulated date. Let this be reserved to God and him ALONE.

Dear god no..every second would be a count down.

[ReyvrexQuestor Reyes]

What do you think about the idea of knowing when you will die? I would say very irrelevant and needless in our pursuit of life. What thrill will there be left in living? As many have said, life is the journey and not the destination. As in a race if you already knew the result beforehand this could posit many awkward situations. If you knew you will be the winner, then how will you act? If you knew you will be the loser, what inspiration will you have?

[garciaelay]

If we will know when we'll die, then everything will be planned out. Gone are the thrills and excitements. Ignorance truly is a bliss. Everything is more fun when unplanned so why deprive yourself with the chance to enjoy life if you're constantly worrying about the time you're given in this world?

[kegoffeney]

Ugh. This is one of those instances where it's best that I don't even have the option of finding out. Because the short of it is that I don't want to know. But if there was a way out there for me to find out... I think the temptation would be too great. Even though I'd know I didn't want to know and it would drive me crazy knowing, I'd probably still check on a whim, then regret it forever.

So yeah. Don't want this technology to exist. At all. Ugh.

[Jfoust1988]

I have had more time to evaluate this question and while I still stand by my original post.. I have decided I think I be better to know than to not. Many people would be able to appreciate life and the people in their life better.

[nyabuto lilian]

I think this is a big issue.I personally i would never want to know when i will die because i could not handle the fact that there is nothing i would do to change it.
