I think a while ago, I would have probably answered no, but hell, I think I'm uniquely qualified for immortality. I live at a snail's pace and, what's more, that's how I like it. Given from now until the end of humanity, I don't think I could get bored; only more interested as things change around me. Then there's the "watching everything and everyone you love die" argument, but its not like mortality will spare you from that unless you suddenly become very mortal right now.
Also, I'm assuming immortal means ageless as well, and therefor not eventually living in constant agony, because "would you be immortal" and "would you want to live in constant agony" are two different questions. In which case you have two options: Hide your immortality, or pull a Tony Stark and come right out with it. You'd be the advice column guy. "Let's hear what the Immortal has to say about our 201st Emperor"..."I haven't seen a ruler like Cullovdoody Walmartson since Donald J. Trump"
Correct Exi.
We are already immortal right now in this body but because we live or better say are stuck inside a body that eventually will get sick and old we wrongly come to the conclusion that WE as immortal outside a body will also get sick and old.
How wrong.

The consciousness which is our real I never get sick and old.

How can an abstract entity such as the consciousness get affected by physical ailments?
