No. As you would eventually become a monster. Think about, as you are immortal, you would see everyone that you knew, everything that you cared for would dissolve away into nothing. Life would lose meaning. Death would lose meaning. Existence as a whole would lose meaning. Eventually you would simply stop caring. So what if you burned entire cities down for fun? They would be destroyed eventually. You at least would see them decay into nothingness in time, why not speed up the process before more resources are wasted? Now eternal youth? Sure. Living for ridiculously long times until you get hit by a bus? Fine. But complete immortality. Oh boy, are there going to be some horrible mental problems. Holy crap, Did I just go into a dark place or what? .... Well, if I have to be immortal, I suppose I'll end up a hermit somewhere, collecting odd bits and pieces here and there. Somewhat like an insane, lonely Trazyn.

To become truly immortal would be to lose that humanity and become something...else. Most likely unpleasant. Now eternal youth? Sure. Living for ridiculously long times until you get hit by a bus? Fine. But complete immortality. Oh boy, are there going to be some horrible mental problems. Holy crap, Did I just go into a dark place or what? Don't be so negative...perspective makes a lot of difference. If you look at immortality negatively, then the above will happen (and you'll be like those Great Old Ones from the Cthulhu Mythos). Otherwise, none of it would. EDIT: If you'd be Trazyn, I'd be Anrakyr the Traveler, wandering the stars with an immortal, machine army completely bent to my will.

I should have left him there. He had served his purpose. He owed me nothing - yet he gave himself to me willingly. Why? I know not. He is nothing more than a pathetic human. An inferior race. A mon-keigh. But still I broke off my wings so that I might carry him easier. I took him from that place, into the snowstorm where our tracks will not be found. He is heavy. And he is dying. And he is slowing me down. But I will save him. Why? I know not. He is still warm. I can feel his blood ebbing across me. For every beat of his heart, another, slight spill of heat. The heat blows away on the winter wind. His blood is still warm. But fading. And I have spilled scarlet myself. The snow laps greedily at our footsteps and our lifeblood, covering them without a trace as we fade away.

Every time any negative has been mentioned you've replied with "nope, you have X superpower to counter that" or "dude, don't be so negative".
This is not a discussion, this is you looking for confirmation.

Imagine watching the human race evolve around you. If there were still humans in the next million years or so, there would be a noticeable difference in physiology.

You're supposed to make it a discussion, you give reasons why being immortal could be interesting and we counter them. Just adding sweeteners to the immortality ruins any possible debate.

Ok, I'll bite and make my immortality interesting... Let's see, after staying in the shadows and getting increasingly madder over the last 1000 years, I'll sally forth in my 500 foot tall giant bio-mechanical spider robot of death (I've had 500+ years to build it; don't act surprised that I had one) to subjugate whatever sentient species is on the planet and unite them under my tyrannical and despotic rule. I'll give them the technology and knowledge I've accumulated over the years, but in return they most worship me as their god. If I find their women attractive, I'll create a harem and impregnate (naturally or artificially, whatever works) them to create an army with which I'll use to enforce my will by placing them in seats of power (though only after...modifying them in certain ways). Why? Because nepotism. Oh, and then I'll send them forth to colonize other worlds and to spread my iron rule and wage a series of pointless wars. For the lulz. And I shall order them to build me a massive golden throne, made from the skeletal remains of whoever I killed with my giant bio-mech spider of death. Why would I do this? Because I'm a bloody immortal who spent the last few millenia under a bloody rock collecting garbage, and I want recognition, dammit! Also, decadence. Decadence everywhere. Because immortals still want to have fun. Even the wrong sort of fun.

 That's fusion, not fission.
Yes, technology is still based on natural principles, but, the point is that technology applies those principles in ways nature never intended for them to occur or be applied to, hence the debate regarding GMOs and other 'unnatural' ideas.

Also, as per the stated rules, we can make one other person immortal.
This has two possible outcomes, no matter how one approaches it (as far as I can imagine):
The other person becomes an eternal partner
OR
The other person becomes an eternal enemy, who hates you for this curse
Choose wisely

The former...two immortals together laying waste (or enslaving, though I prefer 'pacifying' or 'subjugating') to worlds across the universe simply because they have nothing better to do would make every lesser being weep in despair.

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

"You need not fear us, unless you are a dark heart, a vile one who preys on the innocent; I promise, you can’t hide forever in the empty darkness, for we will hunt you down like the animals you are, and pull you into the very bowels of hell." Iron - Within Temptation |

I should have left him there. He had served his purpose. He owed me nothing - yet he gave himself to me willingly. Why? I know not. He is nothing more than a pathetic human. An inferior race. A mon-keigh. But still I broke off my wings so that I might carry him easier. I took him from that place, into the snowstorm where our tracks will not be found. He is heavy. And he is dying. And he is slowing me down. But I will save him. Why? I know not. He is still warm. I can feel his blood ebbing across me. For every beat of his heart, another, slight spill of heat. The heat blows away on the winter wind. His blood is still warm. But fading. And I have spilled scarlet myself. The snow laps greedily at our footsteps and our lifeblood, covering them without a trace as we fade away.

My hate and rage is already powering global warming, but you want to make it worse?
You are a very weird individual.

The people in the past who convinced themselves to do unspeakable things were no less human than you or I. They made their decisions; the only thing that prevents history from repeating itself is making different ones.

Wait, what halfway?
Are you already having sex, or is she angry at you?
I'm so confused.
