Would you rather have the knowledge of the day you will die, knowing you can't change it? Or would you rather have a swift, random death?

Life is relative, in words at least. Though many humans claim to want to embrace death, at death's gate, they break down, knowing, finally realizing that they are but a part of a larger universe, and they are helpless against nature's cruel law, that all must end.
Though the ethnical answer would be that it would be nice to have future notice, to have time to bid farewell to the world at large, it would be unrealistic, for everyone dies alone, as they live alone. I believe that a swift death would be best, mostly to save time, time and energy.
People have tried, over the course of the last century, to prolong life. And to what end? So that they may better enjoy the riches that they have amassed, things that will and should become obsolete. Death is inevitable, and mother nature has made it so.
And yet the human is the only animal that does not embrace it. Forewarning is wasted upon a creature that cares for nothing except itself, completely oblivious to the past, and to the future.

@Hiya: that's what I'm trying to say. What does it matter what we do in life, if it all becomes obsolete in death?

But that's fiction, is it not?
No one will die happy. That's not the point of nature, neither is it possible because of human greed. You will always want more.

I can't give you an honest answer to that question, for I was neither there physically, nor was I in the contores of his mind when that happened. However, I can truthfull say that I've heard things happen the opposite way.
(putting myself in my friend's mom's perspective for a second, simply because explaining would get seriously complicated otherwise)
When I was small, my mother would always tell us that, should she become sickly, we should do nothing to help her. We should not spend our money and our time grieving. However, on her deathbed, she grasped my hand like it was her last lifeline and told me to call my brother. She told me that she wanted the best medical care. She told me that she wanted the most capable doctors. She told me that she didn't want to die.

Apparently you mother had regrets she wanted to get finished first.. Like her daughters well being, indeed that makes sense.. My grandfather had played his cards well though and was a man of few regrets so it can go the opposite way indeed ....

Personally I would like to know when I was going to die. It would take a load off my mind because if I knew when I was going to die I would also know what WASN'T going to kill me. I will be able to live my life fully and not worry about if I was going to die or not. It would bring that certain spark to life knowing your time is or isn't just around the corner. Also whether I die happy or sad doesn't really matter when I'm dead would it?
