I don't know how I would react to that, but basic line I would try to make things right with everyone. if you think about it, it is a privilege.

I enjoyed how this book posed this particular question. I think I would want to know. Probably not the 30-day option, but definitely the 10-day option to get things organized and my affairs in order.

Everyone is doing well to avoid bad history and in fact, people seem to know death yet they lie to themselves. I, myself don't need to know what is going to happen because it might kill my plans if I just get time of departure.

I don’t think this kind of knowledge is for everyone. Even though the original intent of knowing your death date was to encourage people to get their affairs in order, it became about being able to seek revenge without repercussions.

To some it could be pleasing and some it could be devastating. Saying that I could be informed or aware of the moment I would die could really be helpful cause I would use the remaining time left to create and amazing moments and memories with my loved ones.

I think is not that bad. It prepares you very well to accomplish somethings before the worse happens.

i think it will be a good idea as it will help one to prepare and out his house in order. It will help one prepare for a peaceful transition to the great and unknown beyond. It will give one the opportunity to right all the wrongs and achieve peace with others.

If it was a real technology, I would like to use it. I would like to think I can call my loved ones and say goodbye to them. I have lost people without having that option and it has been as hard the fact of losing them as the fact of not saying them goodbye. Definitely, I would buy the watch.

I completely understand the desire not to have knowledge of our own mortality. While we all have an awareness that our lives will eventually come to an end, there is something empowering in maintaining a sense of hope and the possibility of living longer than what might be predicted. Having certainty about the exact timing of our death can be remarkably unnerving and potentially lead to feelings of despair. By embracing the uncertain nature of life, we can nurture an optimistic outlook, focusing on making the most of each day and relishing in the potential for a long and fulfilling journey.

It's very haunting to know when or how I am going to die. Instead of living the best of my every day, I would definitely wake up with fear that my days are numbered and I am not doing anything worth living.

:no-spoil: being aware of when I'm going to die? It's a no for me, I don't think I'll want to know that. To me, knowing about such information could be worrisome and saddening, this could deteriorate one's health and deprive one of living a true happy life. I'd rather not know and live the rest of my days full of happiness.

Honestly just the thought of that scares me, imagine someone was to die the next day and is just finding out, that would be very traumatizing , so i would prefer God to make that decision.

I think the knowledge that I would die someday is okay Going down to the specifics will definately influence my behavior, and I don't want that.
