Most of these improvements are interesting if you are a special ops
fighter or anything like that, not for a regular guy. Immortality and
regeneration on the other hand are enhancements anyone would want -
but immortality is boring if you think about it, and I don't hurt
myself so much that I need to heal automatically. On the other hand, I
love food, drinking, going to the beach, living, sleeping in a good
bed.
So no, I would not want to be a vampire.
