If you could find out how and when you die, but could do nothing to change it, would you want to know?

    so many quick "no" votes.

    I'd think about it at least ... it's a life changing moment to know that ... kind of gives you an idea of the time you have left and would allow you to maximize the good times with that remaining time. Kind of empowering.

    Yes I'd like to know.
    Not sure if I'll go with the "live life to the fullest" motto or try to defy the death(even if I can't change it, I will still try to survive).

    There's a lot of movies lately with that kind of subject.
    The Bucket List, Stranger Than Fiction, Last Holiday, etc...

    Unless I get a sudden accidental death, I have a good guess of what it will be and how it will feel. I just hope the when is a good ways off.

    Yes, because I am a procrastinator, I would like to know the last minute to which I could put everything off.

    And what about the people who know they are going to die in a plane crash on a specific date. What happens if they decide to stay in bed and watch T.V. and eat Coco Pebbles all day?
