Is it more likely that I’m immortal or that I simply have thus far avoided things that would have killed me?

You know that most people are not immortal, but if you had no prior about the mortality of mankind it would be reasonable to expect you're immortal.

Few people expect to die at any specific day, they just know they will die at some point because mortality is a given.
