Does torrent use lead to more disc fragmentation?
I have uTorrent running 24/7.
I do a lot more seeding than downloading.
Is this going to kill my hard drive?
Also, will it shorten the life of my HDD?
(it's going to constantly move while I'm seeding, right?)

No, it won't kill your hard drive, but it will make it easy for the cops to build a case against you for piracy!

Well that really ultimately depends on what OS you are running. I assume windows XP. Simply seeding will not really be much of an issue since most of the work is done in ram, which is erased each time you reboot (Or is dumped from the program).
Fragmentation really is not that big of an issue any more, especially with smarter OS use of HD writing. But in a nut shell, yes downloading large files (2 gig) and then deleting them here and there will cause a fragmented hard drive with NTSF most of the time. But its not something that is exactly going to cause premature hard driver failure.
