Good point. Not having any good video games is definitely an illness. As is not having food and not being immortal.
You'd want to be immortal even if you were stuck on a desert island? I think we're assuming that "stuck" means "you are stuck and will stay that way".
Yes - you'd need to include more particular desert-island circumstances before I'd give up being immortal. Though I was assuming the 'stuck' was temporary, with a limiting case of having to swim / walk across the ocean to get home.
Clearly being stuck on a desert island is also an illness.
