Reminds me of the film 'In Time' where the rich can be immortal.
It does seem that nature has it 'programmed in' that we are to die due to telomere shortening and for natural selection to take place. Our modern and constantly changing society likely means that any kind of evolutionary adaptation doesn't have long enough to prove itself.
Interestingly how people would handle immortality could change that.
...and Altered Carbon (primarily the book but also the TV series), which does things a lot better than "In Time".
