Which is better mortality or immortality?

It is about getting better...

In our lives we are confronted with the question of death.  Thus diseases, Alzheimer, longevity and health are important concerns as we grow older. And this is the question addressed by Discovery Science  through the wormhole with Morgan Freeman   "Can you cheat death?"

There are methods that certainly does that:

1.  Stem cells.  We can regenerate our aging organs using embryonic stem cells.  However as we grow older, we get less and less of embryonic stem cells

2.  Discovery  of the ability of some sea creatures to regroup together even if they are cut, and /or regenerate by a Korean scientist.  We still have to find a way how this can be done or applied

3. Genetic re engineering.  Some of the genes can be spliced and re  ordered so that cancer, and other corruption of genes are corrected.  It has been done in pigs.

But what is better for the specie?  Immortality or Mortality  There is game simulation where the survival of mortals and immortals were compared.  The immortals initially won but later on the mortals got the better of the two because of their ability to get better healthier younger and stronger players in the field.  Why as individuals we want immortality, for the human race, mortality ensures the progress and winning of the human species.
