Unless we can somehow reintroduce neural plasticity, conquering death will probably be a very very bad thing for the species. I'm not sure it's a good thing even if we do find a way to reintroduce it. Constantly getting new generations to replace old ones is how we adapt to changes as a species, and how we evolve in our thinking, in addition to physically.
