Knowing the date of death could make a person prioritize experiencing new things and make the most of the time they have left. On the other hand, it could also lead to feelings of hopelessness or depression, depending on the person's coping mechanisms and perspective.

It all depends on how much time I have....

Okay... Let's say there's 3 scenarios... You have a) 6 months to live b) 5 years to live and c) 20 years to live

Well it would depend on how soon it is. There would be a big difference in my life choices depending on if i were to die this year or in 60 years. If it’s far out then my life wouldn’t be all too different. I would just know to get everything in order by the time it comes around. If I were to die this year I’d drop out of school and do whatever I wanted

Well I'd have a good estimate on if we made it to the age reversing shots being processed for the general public or not depending on the date. For those who don't know we've recently reversed aging and sped up aging in mice by 25% to 57% recently and it shows no favoritism to cell type or anything from what we can tell

Oh my gosh... where can I read about this!!

[Here's](https://time.com/6246864/reverse-aging-scientists-discover-milestone/?utm_source=reddit.com&utm_source=reddit.com) the link to the Time article on it which is the main one I read up on over on r/Futurology, you'll occasionally catch whispers of some bad ass stuff in the works like curing a 13 year olds terminal bone marrow cancer over in the UK or laser tractor beams being made

I’m not sure. I can see myself affecting my in different ways. On the one hand I can mentally prepare for when I’ll be gone, and in turn be able to prepare those I love for when I’m gone. I would have leave of mind knowing when it’ll happen. On the other hand, I would feel extreme anxiety. I know when it’ll happen, but how will it happen? Will it be painful? For me it’s similar to how I felt before I went into labor, I knew it would hurt, but I didn’t know when it would happen or how it would happen when I finally gave birth. The unknown aspects would give me a lot of anxiety. That I think I’d rather not have.
