Re: What do you think about the idea of knowing when you will die?
If there is not going to be an end at that point, I would continue to live life as best as I can, like I typically do. Making sure I balance expectations of close family, expectations of those I supposedly work with ( long story), and my (presently non-existent) hopes .

I think this technology might make some people more reckless, if they have a short amount less, which might not be good for society as a whole.

I have to agree that it would be a very useful tool in predicting natural death. Just because the first instances were vindictive in nature it doesn't mean all results would be that way. It wasn't given a lot of attention in the book, but many did donate their things to charity, got their lives in order and said goodbye to loved ones. I would like to have the chance to do those good things.kfwilson6 wrote: ↑02 Mar 2018, 10:10 Given that this is a medical device which tells you only when you will die of natural causes, I think it is a very useful tool. It doesn't seem that different from finding out you have a life threatening illness and the doctor giving you a timeframe for how much longer you will have. It is that concept on a broader scope. The watch may actually prevent your death if it is a natural occurrence and medical treatment would make a difference. We are often so unaware of what is happening in our bodies: why does my stomach hurt, is this a heart attack or heart burn, am I having a stroke? The watch could help circumvent the consequences of the majority of us not having medical degrees. We wouldn't have to ask the question of ourselves, is this worth going to the hospital for? The risk of not going is mitigated because we would know if it is severe enough to warrant it.
If we were talking about some mystical device that can predict your death no matter how it occurs (car accident, war, hunting accident, etc.), that I would not want to have.
