Calculating Your Demise

vr_don · 08-28-2009, 10:38 AM

It's the age old moral quandary: if you could know how and when you will die, would you really want to know? Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University are giving you the opportunity to find out for yourself via a computer program which utilizes mortality data from the US and Europe to determine the probability of one's demise. You can input your own information and see how you may fare in the future by using the 'Death Calculator' here:

Sorry, I had to do the short answer first. I think knowing when one would die would be too much of a strain and the person would not enjoy life.

I agree. I take this sort of thing in much the same way I'd take a fortune teller at a carnival. Not too seriously.
