I think the curiosity in itself would definitely be there, since I am a person who needs an explanation and evidence for every type of occurrence. However, I think if there were truly a way to determine how and when I would die, I would not want to find out. First, knowing about an impending doom, even if it’s years or decades down the road, can negatively impact the remainder of your life by causing you to worry, become depressed, and potentially non-functional as a person as the time grows URL1 may also cause you to decide against establishing close relationships or having a family with children of your own, since you do not want to leave these loved ones behind when your time comes.
You may also likely live more recklessly, enjoying selfish pleasures, splurging money, and treating others badly by manipulating them to be means to a personal end benefiting you. Thus, knowing in advance how you will die, would likely change the entire course of your life from that day on and you would live a life that you normally would never have considered. Further, who says that the day you are supposed to die is truly the day that you will in fact die?
What if you ruin your entire life with your obsession over your future death and then when the time comes you do not die on the said day? Also, if you think you will die on a given day, your actions leading up to that day may actually predispose you to a higher risk of really dying that day. For instance, if you thought you only had a couple of years left to live, you might think “What’s the use, I’ll die soon anyway, so I might as well live large�
And you might do drugs, drink alcohol excessively, do drugs, have unprotected sex, drive your car fast without a seatbelt on, etc. All these actions may then put you at increased risk of actually dying within the given time. Also, if you were to be diagnosed with a severe illness or find yourself in an accident, you may not fight as hard to live if you think you’ll die soon anyways. Therefore, I would not want to find out about my future death.
I would definitely never want to be faced with the knowledge of any family member’s death. That would completely destroy my own life, especially if I learned that one of them would pass before I did. Some things are better left unknown.

No, I wouldn't want to know. I would totally panic if I knew, and it could probably consume me entirely. If I knew I was going to drown next year, I'd fear the anticipation of the actual date as it approached, and I would find it hard to concentrate on anything else the rest of that year.
I would spend all my time investigating whether a drowning death is painful, and would not be able to watch any movie with water, boats or similar in them. No way I could relax, and enjoy the time I had until the actual date. So no, I prefer to stay in the dark about the date, and the way I die.
I'll have a happier life that way.
Yes I would. I would want to do everything I've ever dreamed of before I die. Plus, I would want to spend as much time with my loved ones as I could.
No, I will like to know exactly date of my death but not the method. I so strongly believe in science and science says that I MUST DIE. So if I would know about my death date.
I will sell all my asset(If I had then) and my all money will be funded into a charity. The vision of this charity will be just "Humanity". Anyway if I could know the date, I think I will be shocked for soemdays but I will be not as my friend @mithrandir .
If I would know the date, I could give the final touch of my diary and also my poem notebook. And I could transfer it to someone trustworthy. I will take my dairy and will continue writing the whole day's expression and experience of death.
I don't believe in any god so also in any angels. So I could prove my opinion while I am dying, I will try to to prove that no angel is present to take me at heaven.(lol). If I know exactly the date, the last moments of my life, I will deserve for doctors and scientist to make a good observation about dying of a human.
I would not think that, I could not enjoy anything. I think, I would justify my girlfriend well while my death knocking at the door. Though my tear will not listen my order then, I am sure.Ok.... Thanks @safiqulislam.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
