Actually, Erasmus Darwin (Charles R.'s Grandfather) provided a very good argument against immortality in either a static, or dynamic world.
In a static world, the ever increased numbers of the immortal race would demand a perpetual war of attrition- impossible to win. In the dynamic world, an immortal species would be unable to adapt, and would exist in agony. Thirdly, nothing is immortal- not even the earth.
