If you look at the actuarial tables, 'immortals' would still statistically die eventually from something unrecoverable.

That's the planet's problem... not mine.

More seriously : with such mindset, mankind would not be where it is now. It's by pushing the limits that you access some higher "truth", be it tech innovation or societal rules.
