Would you like to know the precise date of your death?

Knowing the date would be a help in tidying my life, but I'd waste much of my last day fretting about the exact time of my demise.

Jill, 61
Saylorsburg

NO!

Triana, 29
Austin
, TX   USA

Not really. I'd probably worry about it a lot.

Cancer, 20

No....I like surprises.

Stephanie, 25
TX  USA

No way... that would be morbid and twisted. I'd be dreading the approach of that day more and more as it got nearer. I honestly think it would drive someoneinsane knowing exactly when they are going to die. You'd do everything you could to NOT die that day and end up dying of fear anyway.

Doug2, 29

, KS  USA

No. I want it to be a surprise. Preferably not something drawn out, like cancer. It's very hard on the family to watch someone you love die. Fast is much better.

Judy, 62
Easton
, KS   USA

I don't think I would. If you did, you could live your life to its fullest up until then, but I'd rather just live my life the way it's supposed to be...with no definite or looming expiration date!

Tracy, 24

I already do, according to the death test on spark.com. Besides that, I have a pretty good idea on how I am going to croak...but whatever.

Luki, 31
Valhalla

No. I think it would take some of the edge and mistery out of life.

Ryan, 29
Morton
, IL   USA

No. I just love surprises.

KarenNJ, 25
Milltown
, NJ   USA

Heckno. Then my entire life would focus on obsessing over that date. And it could be way sooner then id like, who knows

Talia, 25
Stamford
, CT   USA

yes, so I could plan my life and say good bye to my closest friends and family.

Brad, 21
Sydney  AUSTRALIA

I sit right smack on the middle of the fence for this question. Cannot commit to a flat out "yes" or "no" ...

Fisch, 47
Preston
, CT   USA

Yes, that way I would be able to say goodbye to everyone before I leave and go to Heaven. I would also be able to look forward to the great day that I would meet Jesus and his Father.

Melodi, 19
Gahanna
, OH   USA

No, but I think I have seen it.

Christopher, 28

Already do, my birth certificate has an expiration date (this joke blatantly stolen from Steven Wright). Exact time and day, sure. But not the cause, save a little mystery. Besides, if I know the cause and manage to change it the time-line portion of Universe's program would get confused and time would explode.Bam. No more time. All my fault. I couldn't deal with that kind of pressure.

No. There is a reason we don't know certain things. I don't want to know because I'd be counting down the days and hours. It's more of a reason to live the way you want and do any wild and stupid things while you can. I don't want to know if I'm going to die next week in a car accident or 90 years from now of old age. If I don't die right away atleast I'll have something to look back at and laugh at how stupid I was.

Em, 16
Harrisburg
, PA  USA

Never... I would spend the rest of my life thinking about that day.

Jeremy, 14
Highlands Ranch
, CO  USA

I don't think so.

Felicia, 36
Lowell
, MA   USA

NO WAY!!!

Tam

Nope.

Firelady, 24
Frisco
, TX   USA

No.

Laura, 37
Lowell
, MA   USA

Sure, as long as it's no time soon.

Reba, 50+

, MD  USA

Although it would have it's benefits, such as having a "deadline" for when you have to do scuba diving, or whatever it is you want to do before you die, I don't think I'd like that. It would send me loopy!

Alice, 21
Winchester  UK

You can! http://www.deathclock.com

Karen, 22
Ames
, IA   USA

EEEW! Eeeew! No! Most definately not.

Nicci, 27
Las Vegas
, NV   USA

No. It would freak me out. It would be the driving force in my life. I would try to change/alter my life and what I do to avoid or cheat death.

Janet, 44
E. Brunswick
, NJ  USA

No Way!!! Your life would be frantic. Too much to do. Basically, Life's short, have Fun!

Christine, 37
Syracuse, NY USA

No. I would probably like enough warning to make sure my affairs were in order and to have some good final moments with my loved ones.
