If you could come back to life for one day after death would you like to do it?

Asked by flutherother (34541points) May 18th, 2018

There is no charge for this service which allows you to return to life for one day, sunrise to sunset, twenty or one hundred years in the future. Would you choose to do it?

Yep, just for one day, maybe 20 years in the future, to check in with my kids.

Hell no. Once I punch my last time card, I’m gone. Done. Yesterday’s news.

Would I be a fly on the wall or able to be seen and interact?

You can be seen and you can interact just as if you were alive but only for the hours between sunrise and sunset and only for one day.

Did you ever see the play “Our Town”? It deals with this subject.

Like @zenvelo, I would come back, mainly to see my kids and grandkids but there is the possibility of it being very painful. Probably 15 or 20 years in the future. I would also be curious to see if America has returned to some sanity.

I haven’t seen it though it is a similar theme. I’d like to live to a good age to see how my children are doing but whatever age I die I would not want to come back.

No way, once I’m gone, I’m gone, there is no turning back! I would have been waiting eagerly for that moment so I definitely would not want to come back!

Probably depends on the circumstances and other terms. How’s my body and quality of life liable to be?

In my younger days, this was my wish just to see how things my generation implemented had affected the world. I would also be interested in seeing how some of our Presidents had been seen over history. My thought was to come back in say 100 years for just long enough to get my answers.

Now that I’m older & wiser & the world is changing so fast, I fear that I won’t even recognize it & I will be more disappointed than anything else. So, I have lost my desire to know how things turn out & content that things are going to turn out the way they turn out!!!

Yes I would .
I would tell the world about the afterlife and give them hope.
Tell them about how it was in my time and check on descendants if any by then.
It would be nice to see what becomes of the world as we know it in the far future, but I suspect that if their is an afterlife we would see that already, and if so, then we could assist others to reach their dreams.
