Didn't you guys learn anything from the Highlander movies, and, to a lesser extent, the terrible Canadian TV show of the same name? Being immortal sucks. Assuming that you're an immortal amongst mortals, you're forced to watch everybody you love die slowly and ugly. So your attractive new spouse will be sagging like an asparagus while you're still fertile and healthy.
And if everybody is immortal, then you get immense overpopulation unless people start killing each other off. When that happens, you'd be back to where we are now.
Or you could make like that Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy alien; travelling through time, insulting every organic life form in the universe, - in alphabetical order.
