If you were offered knowledge of exactly when and how you'll die, would you take it? Why or why not?

Is that a knife you're holding behind you?
Jokes aside this is a philosophical question, would knowing the answer let you change it? Would it be different if you didn't know the answer? How do you know that knowing the answer isn't part of the chain of events that leads to your death in such a situation?
What if the person offering was just scamming you and you lived thinking you'd die in 6 months but then it turns out it doesn't happen?
I think just the fact that the answer could be something like: "2 more years, suicide" is a no-go for me. I'm not a suicidal person so hearing something like this would absolutely fucking terrify me. I think the more time I'd have left the more freaked out I'd get, constantly wonder when will it start? When will the hell that pushes me to take my own life begin?
I mean, on the bright side, only two more years until I can kill myself!
