Might as well ask since it'd be on topic (kind of)...
If you had the choice of getting immortality (meaning you actually do become immortal and can't die, even if you wanted to, there literally is no way with todays human technology to kill you), would you want it? Think Superman without super-strength, speed, breath, laser eyes and flight.
I think I would say yes to it.
The inevitability of my own mortality is probably the only thing that would make me literally do anything to fix!

Anyway, I believe people mistake immortality with indestructibility, being immortal simple means that you continuously regenerate your cells, forever, being indestructible means that there is no physical possibility of destroying your body.
I think being Immortal/indestructible would be incredibly fun in the short term, think of the ways you could change the world to your own liking or the fun you could have like jumping out of a plane without a parachute and not worrying because you'll be ok at the end of it. Then there's the other side to the coin, living on whilst everyone you cared about passes away, friends and family members will die whilst you continue to wander the world. But think of all the technological marvels you could witness 100 years from now....assuming nothing major happens that wipes us out or turns us back into a tribal society.

Meh. Give it a hundred years and you won't even remember their faces anymore.
The Man from Earth is an interesting little movie regarding the subject btw.

Being immortal as a human, with all the mutations in DNA accumulating and your body degenerating from internal and extrenal stress, wouldn't be a very pleasant experience.
