I explored the website and found it to be a little unsettling. The factors that go into the "death clock" for each person are extremely subjective. In reality it seems way too general to ever be taken seriously. There are so many outside variables that are not taken into account, such as family history, accidents, etc. It does bring up the what if question of determining mortality. What would people do if they knew when they were going to die? Would you choose to know the exact date of your death if this website made it a possibility? How would that knowledge alter the way you lived your life from now on? Should that knowledge ever be known?
