If you could find out the exact date of your death, would you want to know? The rules would be that you could not know how you would die and could not stop or prevent the death. But you would know without any uncertainty the exact date of your death.

Would you roll the dice and go for it? For me, I would say no.
Well as someone who suffers from depression (At times, not always) I kind of have that "Choice" of when or where I leave.....Exercising it...Now that's a different part....

But let's say for argument I was mentally fit and ripping it up...Then no, I want to go out in a blast....No warnings, no worries.....know nothing....
