There are different theories on this. Some will say that immortality is completely bogus. Others believe a "soul" will live on forever in paradise or agony, depending on a variety of factors.
However, I like the theory that how one chooses to live their life and is remembered by others is how a "person" can be immortal. If you sow humility and contentment in life, others will reap it forever more.
In fact it is nice when it does and this is why so many chase a desire of enlightenment. Although it is the ego here desiring its own end and being too self centered to notice that the goal it seeks is its own demise. Perhaps why some people laugh out loud when they get it.

immortality is not desirable. everything endures, but in a changed form. those things that refuse to change are the things that die.

Only ego I can die.
