Okay, this is a hypothetical situation - so don't try to tear it apart with plotholes...
You just died.
You're standing in front of the Almighty God himself (or whatever is beyond here..)
(S)He's decided (for s/he works in mysterious ways) that s/he's going to reincarnate you.
Now, you've got to choose between to lives.
Both lives take place in the year 2099, in a post-apocalyptic world where there survives two cities in domes.
Each city is very similar in tech, values, knowledge, etc. Outside the domes are instant death from the radiation created by the sun that is no longer filtered out by our atmosphere - which was desolated in the wars.
Inside each of the domes, there is no disease, no crime or violence - Plenty of things to do though. Everyone is happy.
Now, the major difference between the two domes is this:
In the first dome, in order to keep the population under control, each year on January 1st, 100 people are put to death, During the year, 100 babies are allowed to be born (if, perchance, someone died during the last year by other means aside from the yearly executions, one less person is executed at the beginning of the year - however, with the level of medical technology, this is very rare). The 100 people who are put to death are anyone who's over 30 years old. This way, you know exactly when you are going to die.
In the second dome, much like the first, the population is kept under control with 100 deaths each year on January 1st and 100 babies being born each year. However, the big difference is that everyone's name is put into a computer that randomly (and without anyone being able to tamper with the results in any way, shape or form) picks 100 people from *any* age group - anyone from Little Timmy-12 who was just born yesterday on up to Old Man Wilson who's been lucky enough to avoid being drawn for 112 years! This way, you haven't a clue when you're going to die - but you could possibly only live to be five or fifty...
Which do you pick?
