What is missing from the discussion is, what happens to our kind when we stop dying.

We won’t stop breeding, so at that point unlimited life, becomes a human crisis very quickly.

Or else, massive dying off by the poorest begins, also, in 2045.

Er...don’t be too sure about that. I can imagine a world where an immortal elite will do anything to keep living on the kind of planet they want. Including ensuring that no one new is born once they feel the population is “ideal”.

There was a movie “Zardoz” back in the 70s with Sean Connery. It was mostly awful, but it dealt with some of these issues.
