Find out how long you lived?

Question

If there was a machine that indicates the number of years, months, weeks, days and seconds on how much time left until you die, would you be curious can try it out, or would you not use it because of the stress you would have when you know that you will die very soon?

Answer 1

No, I would not want to know, because then the information would change the little details about how a person lived their life.

It is not important as to WHAT we leave behind, but rather how we leave the WHO's behind.

Answer 2

I would use it with no hesitation.

it would help me plan better.

unless it was always set to one second, because it would kill you just so that it would never be wrong.

Answer 4

Why would I want to know that?

Answer 5

Would not want to know when I was going to die.

Answer 6

Nope! That's all I would be thinking about for the rest of my life.

Answer 7

No such machine exists, because it would have to be able to see into the future in order to obtain the data necessary to operate.  The future, by definition, hasn't happened, so such a machine is an impossibility.

Answer 8

I wouldn't use it because I really don't care how long I have left.  I am just meandering through this life and enjoying all I can about it.  Knowing something like that would just change the way I am enjoying things because it would take some of the mystery out of life.

Answer 9

I wouldn't want to know. It would make me worry about fulfilling all of my dreams, then I wouldn't have a very good last years, months, days, etc. I'd rather live life as it's meant to be lived- unpredictable and spontaineous. ;D
