Short answer - No, no matter what. I created a character called Reina Harit Beaumont, a woman in her late 20s who is forced into an immortal life and as the years pass by, she watches her parents die again and isn't allowed to save them, she has to kill her best friend to save lives and has her home destroyed around her, where she's thrown into another universe afterwards and tries to live her life, raising her daughter and trying to keep sane.
She hates being long lived, she feels pain when hurt and is worn out when she heals, she's able to die, but it takes a lot due to the way her condition was forced into her body. She's lost a husband, a lover, two of her children to mortal lifespans - her son died saving lives, her youngest daughter died from a botched medical treatment and she's terrified that she might turn out like her sister who went insane after being alive much too long and accidently killing a child while trying to other children.
The general idea of the character is that long life isn't worth it, it's more trouble than it's worth. So no, I would never want to be immortal, the price, any price, is just too much.
