How will you die?

In the movie Big Fish, there is a witch who wears an eye patch. In her artificial eye, you can see your own death....when Edward looks into the eye and sees his death, he feels that knowing what happens is very releasing...almost reassuring.

So this got me thinking. If you could see how/ when you would die....would you look? Would you like to know? Would you find it helpful to know? Or do you prefer not to know?

I guess what made me think on this, was that people who are given a short time to live....often find this freeing - it enables them to say all those things they want to say to those around them...it enables them to do what they want to do or need to do for closure.....

I thought it was an interesting thought anyway.
