I feel that death is something that should be left unknown for the individual. So, no I wouldn't want to know it and not for any philosophical reason I just wouldn't know how to react to it, I feel the stress that would come from me knowing about it would eventually lead me into that scenario in which I die.

That sounds like an amazing concept for a film.

You don't think there is any chance that you knowing when and how you would die could serve as the catalyst for a positive change in your life? Perhaps a more meaningful use of the time you have left? -By the way I am definitely projecting here as I know there are a number of things I would likely change. Why don't I just change them then? Easier said than done, but when you are staring down the barrel of a specific date and time when death will fire at you, you may act differently.

Perhaps Twain is right "The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time."
