I would like to propose a new word: immouth (pronounce it however you want), meaning "eternal youth + immortality" so if you ever encounter a single wish granting dragon you don't fall in any of the pitfalls with either of the two when asked alone.

@LordRishav_ dragon grants you the wish; an eternal life as a 5 day old.
-
@luceos That's not youth though, that's juvenility.
-
@LordRishav_ according to some sources it can start as young as 10 yr old
-
@luceos Yeah well then that definition was too simplistic. Words change meaning all the time as well so it would be good to define a single word that means some things a person generally wants as a wish like eternal youth (that is age stays between 18-25) and immortality (you can't die). If 'immouth' or some other word gets socially accepted as meaning this particular meaning, not necessarily this same translation, it would be easier to ask "I want immouth" as a wish.
-
@LordRishav_ Ok!
Wouldn't you consider immortal youth a curse?
Everyone you care for around you will die. And people will notice if you stay around too long. Then once your gift is discovered you will never be safe as there's always a maniac who wants to understand how..

@luceos I personally find the upsides of immouth to be far outweighing the downsides. You could theoretically fulfil your goals at your own pace because you have infinite time (unless the environment around you drastically changes), you could collect more knowledge and wisdom than anybody else without getting grey hairs and stiff joints so you could actually use the knowledge instead of just being able to pass it on to the next generation, no need to hyperspecialise to get a name for yourself...
