i believe that those whos sick were luckier than those who died on accidents cause they had the chance to say goodbye to love ones than those who just died in just a snap of the finger i like the idea and yes i reallt like the topic.

- Latest Review: Who Told You That You Were Naked? by William Combs
It could be a terrible feeling to a living person who knows about his death date. That could give rise to frustration, depression, violence, anger, sympathy, all such kinds of mixed feelings in him, as the death date approaches.
One who knows that his death date is coming nearer may not concentrate on his daily activities. He may become unproductive due to his deep feelings about death. Each such person may show different reactions to that knowledge. According to me, the death date of a person should be a suspense.

I think the biggest burden really is, the moment in which you learn when the dreaded date will come, how could one react when getting this type of information, that is really alien to us. Do you feel optimistic? That maybe, somehow your life will be longer, or maybe you feel sad, because life won't be as long as you probably thought it would be.
And in reality, I don't even know if I would like to know, or not, when I will die. There some "pros and cons" of course to each. Being able to live without that countdown, we have one, but I feel it is not better not to know the actual amout of days left; while I think it is also good to know when it would happen for me to able to really get closure, or at least to get my affairs in order.
It is an interesting idea, but really I wouldn't know what to choose.

But, I'll like such an information if every it's uncovered to be kept confidential, only to be disclosed to the individual person involved.

I think if I had a terminal disease, I may view it differently. If I knew there was no hope, I'd want to know so I could put my affairs in order and cross as many things off my Bucket List as possible.
