There's a difference between being immortal and being invincible.
The Omicronians might be immortal, meaning they don't age or catch diseases, but they probably just as subsceptible to energy-weapons and sharp, pointy objects as Earthicans, meaning they can be killed). See also Tolkien's elves.

I didn't say it was an inherent genetic trait, it might just as well be the result of a medical treatment. Tolkiens elves just represent the best example of what I tried to describe (a race untouched by time and decease but still "killable" ).

Besides, masturbating until you become immortal is still worth a try... even if it doesn't work, you can't say you didn't enjoy your attempt at immortality.  Anyway, I'm amazed nobody's mention the youth tar from TMLH here yet. By bathing in that once a year just enough to de-age by a year, it is somewhat similar to being immortal... not quite the same, and doesn't exactly fit the definition of immortality, but it's the closest thing we've seen to it on the show other than the heads in jars... and Melllvar giving the Star Trek crew eternal youth somehow.
