If you knew WHEN you would die however, you could prevent it. You don't neccessarily have to die of age. *Loads Magnum*

Nope, nope. If you did, it would screw everything up, like in LOST.

HAZ will die by gunshot within the next 48 hours.

Lets see if this will work.

And suddenly, before the trigger is pulled, an explosion rocks your house, knocking you unconscious.
You're saved from the resultant burn-down by firefighters.
Most-extreme-case scenario, you eventually become a vegetable after a dozen, what-the-fuck-how-diverted different attempts; technically alive, but unable to kill yourself.
wut

If I knew when I'd die then I could decide if I should A. do something with my life, B. continue to waste away, or C. defy all logic and reason and go insane.
This is assuming, of course, that the exact time is inevitable and any attempt of avoidance is futile.

Ooh. I didn't see the 'how'. That makes it more fun (assuming the 'how' is at all interesting...) Unless you end up going into a coma for most your life, then die by whatever the next day.

EDIT:
Knowing when you die doesn't mean you can prevent it... If you altered it somehow, then it would have been inaccurate to begin with. ;o

Correct.
