I would never ever choose immortality. The human brain just isn't set up for it. I live through the assumption that I will at some point cease to be.
The only way that I would accept an indefinite life span in a jar is if two conditions were met:
1) I could choose when I wanted to stop "living" at any time.
2) I would have the opportunity to interact with others in a meaningful way, and be able to control a non-physical body, similar to the situation in the "Matrix" except with full knowledge of the fact the my physical body is gone and that I exist only as data.
If I were simply given the opportunity to live forever in some sort of gigantic library, I would definately turn it down. I would go insane.
