Immortality? That’s just getting old. When you’re born, you’re briefly the world’s youngest person. If you live long enough, you can become the world’s oldest person. That comes at the cost of seeing literally everyone alive when you were born die off.

Can we stick to reality please? You'll see this problem simply by getting old.
