Question
    I was just wondering, if Cordelia has become part-demon does that mean that she is immortal like Angel?  If not, are full-demons immortal like vampires in accordance w/ the shows?  Thanks for your time.  I'll look forward to hearing from you.

Answer
They've been a bit vague on the type of demon Cordy is, judging by the last episode of season 3, I would guess she is immortal as she has been made into some sort of higher being.  Most demons have special ways of killing them (eg. stakes) whether they are full or part.  You don't really hear of demons dying of old age.  I guess my answer is that I don't really know, but my theory is that all demons are immortal (as in won't die of natural causes), or at least have longer life spans than humans - maybe being part demon only gives you half the life span!  I know that hasn't helped much, but its a lot of guesswork cos I think they leave that sort of stuff vague so that they don't have strict rules they have to play by and people can complain if they forget and change the rules!

Sorry again for not being much help.  I've lost my buffy/angel buddy at the moment, but if you want to send me your email address I will let you know what he thinks when I find him again (he's much better at the deep thinking than me!)
