Hmmm...I don't think I'd care to be a mortal in the first 3 Ages of Middle-earth. What with war, pestilence, drought and bad dentistry, it would be as miserable a life as a medieval serf or villein - a short life and an unmerry one, even if Tolkien painted a somewhat rosy picture. There is nothing gallant about wasting away from dysentery or gangrene.
I suppose I would prefer to be an Elf, as they were too noble for bowel movements.
