I think being immortal would be a very hard thing to deal with. In the beginning, it would be exciting to know I could do anything without any fear of death, but after a while, it would be hard to keep up with an ever-changing world.

Being immortal will enable me to do a lot of things I normally won't. I'd probably be a daredevil to some extent. Nonetheless, immortality will be like a fad that easily loses it's charm. In the end, I'd probably live unhappy, too exhausted in an endless life.

I would be able to enjoy it. I can do my research work about the universe and science.

I think I would enjoy immortality, but I would certainly be sad too.

For me i think immortality would be enjoyable for me as long as my loved once are also immortal, but in the case where am just the only immortal one, i don't think i would like to be immortal.

I think immortality in this mundane world wouldn't be all fun and games. One would have to witness wars, pandemics, disasters, and see their loved ones die.
