Every single "immortality is bad" or "death is good" story is just sour grapes. At best they're a psychological crutch, useful to aid accepting something that is as yet inevitable.
But as biotechnology improves, and as the possibility of ending that inevitability increases, they will very quickly stop being useful. I hope we can abandon those stories before they hamper us.
(And as for the arguement that "death is natural"... well, so was Smallpox.)
