I'm scared of death. Knowing when and how I die could probably scare the hell out of me. On the other hand, the moment I could accept my fate, I would probably repent, and prepare myself.

It is not up to you when you will die that is in the Lord's hands, but in my opinion I would not be afraid to die because I know that we will all have to die someday.

If we know our time of death.. I don't think our life would be happier... Life is to enjoy and achieve something.... Knowing our deadline and trying to fulfill our wishes in a hurry will make the entire life we lived useless... Let it be unknown...

I think it could be both a blessing and a curse to know exactly when you're going to die. If you know how long you have then you have a timeline to do everything you've ever wanted to do. On the other hand, if you did know when but not know how then you might spend your life obsessing on how you die.

I would like to know when I am going to die as it would relieve a great deal of anxiety and uncertainty. However, although I have not read anything regarding this new technology, I am pretty sure that it would be impossible to predict given the nature of the universe we live in.

I think I would be more grateful and appreciative of life if I were to know when I die. If I knew the specific location, time and how I die, I would try to do all the things that I wanted to do before that. But then again, the question of whether it is fate or free will would arise. (Eg Macbeth by William Shakespeare)

It's a depressing topic that can often have unhealthy consequences if the person becomes depressed if they become to obsessed with this

Well am not sure I would want to know when I will die. The knowledge of that might scare people to never even leave their houses. People would not live life to its fullest because they would be too careful to avoid their death. Lack of this knowledge is what gives us the hope to live and dream without limiting ourselves to time.

death is the biggest fear of humanity, but death is natural, the thought of knowing when death will come is a fearful emotion to others because we look at death as the most painful one for our part and for the people we will be left behind, as long as the life journey of an individual was meaningful then a person can wrap thing up when he/she knows the time of death

I, think knowing helps help in some way and danger in some way in some like when a doctor tell someone you will died in some weeks the person in case in knowing will not think about any thing but death so will always stick to what will want to know. :tiphat:

God has decided what is write timing ..
It is because of him we are born and he only decides how many years we will live on this earth ... so I don’t feel like to know when I will die .. God does everything for good and on right time ..
