I was watching Loose Women recently, and their argument against immortality would be that you'd never get anything done. It kind-of makes sense - you'd just keep putting everything off until tomorrow because you always know that there's a tomorrow. True story.

5 Reasons why immortality would rule:
* Get to see the future and how the world changes
* Time to do and learn everything you desire, and more.
* No pain
* No fear
*

Why would there be no pain or fear? Everyone around you would die and you'd be lonely all the time.



"In- in return?" Snape gaped at Dumbledore, and Harry expected him to protest, but after a long moment he said, "Anything."

I must become a lion-hearted girl, ready for a fight.

Just because you can't die doesn't mean you have to be lonely. :P
Sure the deaths of loved ones would be tragic, but the loss of someone gets better with time. And I would have plenty of that.

Unable to die = no need to fear anything, including pain. If I were immortal, I would live according to the expression "carpe diem".No regret, no remorse.

Immortality doesn't necessarily mean invulnerability. If someone hits you it probably still hurts.

I considered that, but then pain is inconsequential, at least in my opinion. It would be nothing more than discomfort.
