As a matter of fact, there are positive and negative aspects to immortality. For instance, as for the positive parts, you can try dangerous activities. Moreover, you are not scared of death any more. Besides, you could pursue any goals no matter how unrealistic they might be. On top of that, you can travel all over the world. Furthermore, you would be free to explore whatever and enjoy life to the fullest. You can choose the age in which your body stays frozen for eternity.

On the other hand, the negative parts would be finding yourself in a boring loop. In addition, even if you regret your choice you cannot reverse it.

To conclude, even though you could physically pursue anything you would still need to have money or the means to do so. On another hand, the argument of not being bored is interesting because it show that you will always do something in your life.
