Considering how bitter I've become at the age of 26, absolutely not.
Would anyone else agree (nobody's mentioned it so perhaps not) that as you get older the faster time appears to travel? As in, the more days/weeks/months you live through the quicker the following days/weeks/months seem to pass by? So it might be possible to live a fair old while without actually getting mind-numbingly bored.

Never mind boring. What happens if you suffer from a chronic injury? (I am assuming that such immortality does NOT include Wolverine/Highlander style regeneration.) Good luck getting treatment for the constant pain unless you're already independently wealthy.
I'll pass on immortality. I'd have a DNR if it didn't require a doctor's signature in my area.

It'd be nice to watch over the evolution of various species, and of course then become a novelty, the primate from the ancient days who does not age.
You would quickly become obsolete.

If you become immortal, you'd have to live with the fact that everyone you would know would be dead, while you would continue to live, seeing everyone you know disappear. This one reason makes me not choose immortality, seeing as though I don't want to know that I'd outlive everyone I would ever meet.

A true secret: All of us are already truly immortal, we have lived many lives before and many lives to come we will live.
Death is only the transition between lives. Our lives are truly the outcome of choices made in previous lives. Much love to all, brothers and sisters!

To go a step deeper, we're all the same person. We live out a single life at a time with little to no recollection of the past. Sometimes we claim to remember the past, but few believe it when it crops up. No matter, because then we die again to take on a new life and all we've done loses its meaning time and time again. Until the times where we step forward and perform acts of true good and true evil, then we force ourselves to remember. The question, the one question that must never be answered, is which life will be the last, and to what result is the whole of this experiment taking place?

I would say that we are all the same living Being, not the same person. Nevertheless i like what you wrote, thank you! We are life itself, because: which is life if not that which lives?! Of course in order to really Be life itself one should to act like it.

It's boring if you don't know how to entertain yourself. I would know, I've been living for thousands of years.

No way. Several reasons:
Tltr; Immortality will suck in the long run, because it just can't end well for you and even if you will be physically a-okay and young, you will probably get mental stress and worn out.

Boredom is a catalyst for creation. If you watch someone you love, die, then it must mean that you also watched them live and gotta be thank-full for that. There is a difference between love and attachment, in order for one to truly love it is necessary to know also to let go. You can also share childhood memories with yourself. Illnesses are proof that our bodies are a temporary loan from nature itself. Eternal youth is always in the heart, not also in the body. A old man might still be a innocent child in his own heart. Age is beauty and every moment is unique because it only happens once like this. Even the seamingly repeating circumstances are always different. After this life comes another as a continuity, but you will nevertheless live the outcome of your choices from this life. Why? Because that outcome represents your choice, through the choices you made. Much love!

We all might already be immortal as none reading this are dead, we can't say if the singularity might come in our lifetimes and suddenly immortality is the norm ;)

Yes I would. 1. The thought of dying scares me to death. 2. I feel like even if I did something amazing or groundbreaking every day of my life, there would still be things left to do when I die. The world holds much possibility and new innovations happen daily.

To travel the cosmos would be worth any cons that go along with immortality.

Stuck forever in this life? Good God, no.
Stuck forever in Heaven, on the other hand, that's a lot more appealing.

Option a) Spending an eternity on a planet perfectly suited for life supplied by a supposedly loving creator and surrounded by His creations - "Hell no!"
Option b) Spending an eternity surrounded by goodness knows what alongside a creator that sits idly by allowing people to not particularly enjoy the one and only life they'll ever spend on planet Earth - "Sign me up!"
Christians - making sense since never.
