There seems to be a lot  of debate over the morality of biological immortality, and what it would mean for the economic and social structure of society.

If you were given the option to become biologically immortal, would you take it? Would you want biological immortality outlawed? Or would you just want people to have a choice?

EDIT: Biological immortality is the ability to never age. It's very different from mainstream immortality since you can still die from external circumstances like an accident or starvation.

EDIT 2: For people saying it's completely impossible, it's not. "Although the premise that biological aging can be halted or reversed by foreseeable technology remains controversial,[16] recent research into developing possible therapeutic interventions is already underway.[17] Among the principle drivers of international collaboration in such research is the SENS Research Foundation, a non-profit organization that advocates a number of what it claims are plausible research pathways that might lead to engineered negligible senescence in humans.[18]"

Perhaps not in our lifetime, but with breakthroughs in genetic engineering and the progress we have made towards identifying aging factors, nothing is impossible. Whether or not it is right is what I'm asking.
