Immortals will still die occasionally due to accidents and other non-age related causes. Unless risk is totally eliminated from the world, there will always be a positive replacement fertility rate.


Actually, I think the greatest risk in a society of immortals would be murder. Everyone would constantly be eyeing each other as a potential resource to allow themselves to reproduce.


Why, more probably not. Things like car crashes and other ones indeed, but likely not murder.

Most advanced societies in the world are peaceful.
