    Question Would you want to know the exact date of your death?

    I don't think I would.

    Would you?

    I think I would. It could be nice to plan ahead, although it might be a bit depressing when that time draws near.

    I've always thought of this as a gamble type decision, if it's from old age at a certain point, then all is well...but if the result is 3 weeks, then i'd rather have been ignorant and lived normally for those 3 weeks.

    No, I think it would be kinda scary the day before you die

    I don't think so, because when you find out it's a couple years from now, it's like a giant middle finger to your life.

    I think so. I think i'd appreciate the time i do have more.

    if i knew, i would an hero a day early out of spite.

    not really, if i knew i was going to die the following day i would try and prevent it if possible...

    Yes, very much so. The anxiety and paranoia towards the end seems very interesting. That is, assuming we dont know how it will happen. If knowledge of how is part of this, then it would be interesting to try and avoid the cause of death.

    Nope. If I did, it would somehow seem like I'm worried about death.

    Well if your death is set in stone with a specific date you'd try an "an hero" and probably live in agony till the next day which would be the cause of your death.

    Yes because I wouldn't have to worry about it at all before the date and if I knew the exact date AND cause, I'd avoid it :P Like if it's a traffic accident, I wouldn't even leave home and such.

    Yes because I'd want to be able to do all sorts of stuff without consequences/wrap up my life properly.

    Yes. I think I would. I don't think in the larger picture I'd let it effect things much though.

    No, the risk of becoming depressed when you get to know you´re dying young isn´t worth it. I´m living my life and I see where it ends.
