I would take it without a second's hesitation.
Death is the scariest, most irreversible mother in the whole universe. Being able to avoid her for a very, very long time would be such a blessing. Like a weight off my shoulders.

Ridiculous. That whole cracked-article is wanna-be smart. Trying to make this a trick question.
Whatever that gummy bear turns me into, I'm no longer a human being. In fact, I'm no longer a biological entity by current definition.
If I can't die, it means that my physical body must be an illusion. If I can't die of starvation or thirst, obviously that digestive system is a fake. If I can't bleed to death or get a heart attack, that ol' pump in my chest is just for show. And if my mind is working when I'm touching a quadrillion volts, it seems a good indictation, that it's no longer depending on those little neurons and synapses.
At best description, I'm some sort of ethereal being that poses as a human. I'm a Q.
So why would any of these biological nuances phase me the slightest?

of course I would. couldn't think of one good reason NOT to.
although it would be funny if you wind up becoming your own "self fulfilling prophecy", and the only reason immortality is discovered in the first place is by studying the effects of this magical gummy bear on you. would also be even funnier if it was you who sent the green kool-aid man back in time to your former self to give the gummy bear to.
but it'll always leave the question in the back of your mind.... what if you never agreed to eat the gummy bear?
