I don't think so.

great hypothetical. right now, while im healthy, no. But if i knew some debilitating disease might shorten my ability to live a healthly and productive life..I want to know it. If it might be a sudden death, then hell no.

I say no... now... although nothing is black and white, so to speak, and who knows if or when I may change my mind

very hard to see what the future will bring...

only if i can prevent it

I would live in fear of that day every day if I knew. So, no.

Wow.

Ummmmm, No. But knowing me I'd end up finding out anyway.

I died a few years ago.

But think of all the red lights you could run before your day!

done that.

I wouldnt want to know.
That would defeat the purpose of me living

No, but other people I would buy a big calendar and mark off the days.

Absolutely not!!

nah...

the next life is better anyway.

no, I would just think about it all the time

Although it would be different if we all knew, as part of our lives, as in we came into this life knowing how long we were here for. It would be a different kind of life I suppose, knowing our destiny but coming in and doing our bit anyway. I like it the way it is - curiousity killed the cat

Yes, I would - then depending on what it was I'd adjust how I died.

If I were to die of cancer at 54, I'd jump in front of a car on the eve of my 54th birthday.

If you were going to do that you could always die in a less painful manner...

That might not be instant though. And there are ways of dying instantly and pain free!

Don't ask me what they are, but Im sure they exist...

I spose I could always take a cannon to my head.

~live your life... be free~

remember, Ben, that there are people fight for thier lives every single day... you have a precious gift don't ever throw it away

* Even though I've said that I have been there, hon, as have many... hang in there

Natisse said:

I'm not saying I'm going to commit suicide. I really, really don't want to.

However, if I knew the way I was going to die, and I didn't really like that way out, I'd choose a different way beforehand.

Spookymuffin said:

which would make finding out in the first place null and void


and yay to hearing you're not thinking like that

Natisse said:

Well not so much - I'd be more in control. Take the cancer example I wrote above again. If instead I got told I was going to die by being shot in the end during a war that I am not taking part in I'd be happier.
