My gut instinct says no. Personally, love and so many other emotions are based on the uncertainty of life. Being that we were not allowed to change it, I believe it would cause the worst to come out in people. Maybe it's a bit pessimistic, but I can see people robbing banks or doing things they normally wouldn't since they know their fate. I suppose there's the flipside of people experiencing things they wouldn't otherwise since they know they won't die, but I think the cons might outweigh the pros.

I never considered people doing nefarious things because of the lack of long term consequences. Good point.
