For some it's a good thing and for some it's terrible because another man's food is another man poison. For me, it's okay because it makes one time conscious. It makes one cherish every moment one share, spend more time with one loved ones, let go of the stress, struggle and hustle. One get to appreciate life more better.

I don't know the idea of when I'm going to die. Don't nobody knows when there going to die, unless they are sick really bad, old or young. At my age, I don't know when my time will come, but when the time comes, it comes regardless of what's happening in life.

I would not like to know when I am going to die,because it would cause fear to rise in my heart.

I don't think I would want to know. It seems to me that people would use that as an excuse to be better or to do something they would never do. If you feel the "I have nothing to lose" option then I believe it make you a loose cannon. Personally I'd rather cannot living because it was how I wanted to live instead of what I thought I should have been living.

This is a hard question to answer. However, if scientist will share this kind of information in every human being on earth, it will have its pros and cons. One of the pros will be of that people will live life to their fullest since they know when will they die. On the other hand, people will actually think thag their life won’t matter since in the end, they will all die.

I think whatever research the scientist do have, they won't know nor predict when , where , what time a person die. Thinking about dying makes you insane, then come up with this topic , would you explain it in a specific terms on how you have that data? I don't know, i believe that this question will belong to a remarkable question.

I think its gonna be a unlogical topics because the only one who knows when you will die is God (for God beleivers). If for some reason this book will just actually speaking of how scientist or doctor figuring out which one of diseases can approach someones life, then it will be good and acknowledge people also.

There is so much human on the earth that have many varieties time of death. There is no possible way of a normal human could guessing of 'when i will die'

Hlvp wrote: 18 Mar 2018, 23:47 Whether we like it or not, it is inevitable and using time to think about it would be time spent now, time spent not living. and if we were to know when we died, we would have that idea affect and control our actions instead of allowing us to have complete control of our actions.
This is terrific and applies here but also to life in so many ways. Reading your post, I immediately thought about how much we worry about every little thing. When I encounter this, I ask (other people or myself) the question 'what can be done to change or impact the situation'. If the answer is there truly is no way to change it, then we need to let it go. Death is one of those things, (1) can we change that it will happen? and (2) can we change when it will happen? In Final Notice, it appears we can not so ... move on and live your life! :D

I’d rather not know. If I found I had years to go, I’d procrastinate all the things I should do and then probably get mown down by a bus the next day.

I was surprised there wasn't more to be made of that - there wasn't anything artsy like arranging their bodies as they died, or committing a final act of protest. I thought that would be interesting... Trying to manipulate the very thing you have no control over...

Knowing when one will die is enough pain than death itself.
A person that has been condemned to death would have died severally even before the day he is pronounced to die.
