I'd want to know when I die, that way I can prepare for it and do all the things I've dreamed of. Living in constant fear of death is no way to live. If you know when it's coming, you just need to accept you can do nothing about it, and make the time you have left as special as it can be.
But also, doctors can get things such as cancer death predictions incredibly wrong. 7 1/2 years ago, a friend and co-worker of my father's was diagnosed with cancer, and given 6 months to live. 7 1/2 years later, he's still going strong, perfectly healthy, and the cancer has petered out. He still has the tumour lumps across his body, which they can't cut off for fear of re-starting the cancer, but he's 100% healthy. So doctors can get things completely wrong.
