Immortality is self-sustaining
They would have already thought about this.
The main reason why Immortality wouldn't work is that time goes faster the longer you live. Not literally but through experience.
Let's say you were 1 year old - 1 year is 100% of your life.
If you were 100, 1 year is 1% of your life. At 100 years old, time is going 100 times faster than if you were 1 year old
If you were a thousand years old, you can imagine how crazy that would make someone, not to mention the probable severe dementia
Not really. What actually happens is that as you get older, you begin to process information differently. A three year old processes all the information it can, while a 20 year old processes only the most important items. This provides the "illusion" that time travels extremely fast, but in reality, you just don't remember all the details.
This process is generally optimized by the end of your brains "development" stage, which is about 25. It is also affected by mental disorders, such as Alzheimers.
Long story short: If you are forever young, the healthy will be perfectly fine.
