If you were able to learn how long you had left, would you want to know?
 
No, but I would at least like to know how it happened.
 
would knowing my death allow me to avoid it?
or for that matter would knowing how/when I die, mean I can't die any other way?

Nope. Ignorance is bliss.

Only at the last minute is ignorance bliss. I'd wanna know up until about 3 weeks before.....I wake up on a deserted island and Mary Ann saved my life by giving me mouth to mouth resuscitation. Three weeks later, the series is cancelled.....cut to black. Better than dying in your sleep.
 
Having faced death in the face, and being told I was given 30 minutes to live with my T1, I used the time to write letters and loved ones to leave at my bedside in hospital.

I fought through it and lived but it took 6 years to overcome this and learn to live again.

Horrendous period of my life.
 
Not sure.
I immediately thought of the Big Fish, how people who looked into the witch’s eye saw how they died/when. in one hand, some feared knowing, but Edward saw his death and he lived fearlessly, knowing that the things he faced weren’t going to be his end. I like the idea of that but I’m not sure I would want to know if given the chance.
 
Honestly yeah.

It'd probably make me take more risks in life as well as allow me to make the preparations I'd wanna make like life insurance and writing to those I care about before I go.
