That's certainly true.  The actual stories being written aren't 
likely to reach time spans that would test a person's claim to 
immortality, nor to reach the death of anybody who is going to have a 
long life span.  That said, I'm very uncomfortable with the thought 
of an immortal being recognized in MK canon.

May He bless you and keep you in His grace and love,
