would you wanna know??

Was watching the trailers for Medium tonight, where alison can "see" the death of her youngest child, and was wondering, if you could predict (and you knew it was accurate), the death of yourself, your DP or children, would you want to know?

After a week of thinking, I have decided no. i would obsess too much about how to stop it. even if it was 80 years in the future, it would play on my mind too much I think. so no, am glad i have no idea.

I wouldnt want to know either but then if it was something that could be stopped... like if you knew she was going to be hit by a car when leaving school on thursday wouldnt you want to know that so you could make sure she didnt cross the road? Oh I dont know now I thought I wouldnt want to know but then maybe I would.......

no, not at all.

HAving said that, though, I am supposed to be going and getting genetic councelling and tests to see if I carry the fautly Gene that my dad's family carries, as as well as dad, his brother, sister and father have all died of cancer. We have been talking about it alot these last few days, as we are in the process of (pre wedding) making new wills and life insurance policies etc. Rod isn't keen as he knows I am a catastophiser and will obsess that I am dying all the time if I found out I have the gene. I sort of want to, so we can get in there (me and the Dr) and get some sort of action plan in place. I don't want to end up liek my dad and not find out till I was secondary and beyond treatment.

no no no i definately wouldn't want to know. it would consume my life too much....although like robyn, if it could be stopped then yes

then there's the whole 'final destination' thing...if it didn't happen at the time it was suppose to, it would happen another time
