In the first few decades of "The Age of Immortality" we should be mindful that a plutocracy does not develop. In the beginning, not everyone would be immortal. Those who were would be smarter on account of there growing experience and depending on the form of immortality (Fanatic Avocados [1] [2]), they could be stronger; faster. If the proliferation of immortality is not fast enough or widespread, the governments of the world could dissolve into the 'elite' ruling the 'normal' kinda thing. If you have mastered mortality, you would have some pretty "sick" (pun) bio warfare equipment. In other words, resistance would be futile.
This flaw is one of the main reasons immortality research is so slow. Like any other form of medicine, it could no be distributed to everyone. As well, its price would only be affordable to a select few, further widening the gap between "us" and "them".
