I wouldn't. Immortality sounds miserable to me.

I'm already a robot, merely one made of biological, somewhat self- repairing components, which unfortunately are very difficult to replicate in any way besides procreation, and distinctly non- trivial to switch out even when a replacement is available. If the only thing changing is the ease with which failing parts can be replaced, then he'll yes i would. I think any sane person would, or at least should. The only reason to say no would be the assumption of certain things associated with robots as stereotyped in media, but not necessarily specified in the actual question.
