What if... there were immortals?

Well, if the immortals among us were to live forever, yet grow and age normally, it wouldn't be too long before that immortality were irrelevant anyway, their bodies becoming decrepit and minds feeble and wasted. A lot of folks might think "Wow, it would be fantastic to live forever. I'd do this thing and that thing, become wealthy..." But what if that immortality turned out to be a short mayfly moment of lucidity and the remainder an eternal persistent vegetative state?
