Definitely myself. I can sort of make sure all my things are in order before I go, and I'd probably be less afraid of taking certain risks because I know I wouldn't die.
No way would I want to know in advance about the death of someone I love.
I knew when my dad was diagnosed with cancer that his was a terminal case, and that was bad enough because from that day on everything in my head was "is this going to be the last time we do this together?" I found myself privately mourning him before he was even gone, which meant I was too exhausted to actually enjoy spending time with him as much as I would have liked. The whole thing wore away at me right up until he eventually did pass away, and even then I was devastated anyway so it wasn't even that helpful in preparing for all the emotions that the death of your best friend brings.
Far better to know about the death of someone I hate, because then it'd become easier to appreciate that investing energy in intensely hating someone is a waste of time for all involved...
one of them celebs! but not me ;)
I voted "someone else": I'd like to know when I was slated to kick the bucket.
I voted for a friend, but actually, it would be three friends. We as a group already suffered the unexpected loss of one friend, knowing when I'm going to lose the other three would be nice.
I went with "someone you hate", because I'm pretty sure knowing that about someone I actually care about would just make me feel extra anxious, unless it was reaallllyyy far in the future. Because even if it were decades from now, that could still mean they would die of a degenerative disease that had its roots much earlier on - and I think I'd find it hard to not feel anxious and overprotective even if I knew I couldn't change anything. If it's one of the few people I hate, I couldn't actually do much with the information, but I at least wouldn't be worrying about it. I think I'd prefer to just not take the offer, though.
This is my line of thinking too. I can't really see knowing the date of any loved ones' deaths doing anything to me besides giving me something to obsess over.
I'm not fully understanding the question :(
If you had the ability to know when one person is going to die, whose death date would you choose to be able to know about?
Someone else : me Maybe it will help me plan and live more effectively?
Actually, I'd rather not know
My dad because I know it will destroy me, so at least I'd be a tiny bit prepared...
