I deny that that is true. If you lived forever, why would there be a biological directive to procreate, let alone frequently? I suspect rather that childbirth would become strictly regulated to ensure overpopulation didn't occur (IE. new children would only be authorized as people died of unnatural casues [Since we're not talking about invulnerability, only immortality, you could still be killed even if you would never die naturally] or new land capable of supporting human life was found) and there would be many advances in the technologies of birth control and abortion.
