Indeed, the gift of the Valar to men. I find it interesting that Tolkein gave the elves both immortality and the ability to procreate. Says much about his attitude towards life.
To cross thread topics, real estate in the undying lands would be one fantastic investment ;)

Jumping in. Perhaps the undying lands for us will be the colonization of new planets. If we can solve the dying problem, then a few thousand years in "hibernation" would not be that daunting. Leave Earth for the youngsters under 100 years old, then prepare to go a viking across the galaxy.
