You will still die if you are murdered, trapped in a fire, drown etc but what would existence be like if there was no natural death, sickness or disease ? What are your thoughts ?
How different would life be if humans lived forever ?

By what mechanism would humanity attain 'immortality'? Cellular regeneration? Time travel? Witchcraft? Self-replication? Answer that and I'll be able to give a more comprehensive answer.
I don't believe we are designed or mentally ready to live forever. I think immortality would drive the average person insane. Living a full life is different than living forever in this flawed world. We'd go insane

A whole lot of creative activity would not happen.
The world would be massively overcrowded, leading to famine and/or in constant massive war to secure the limited ressources
Depression and suicide would probably be much higher
Eventually I think a caste system would develop where only a select few really ends up living forever, meaning riches would always become more and more concentrated in the hands of the few, even more so than now. Also you would at some point have some massive pogroms and forced sterilization campaigns.

sounds horrible
and it would probably be impossible if humans had an endless life expectancy we would have stripped this world barren of life as soon as we became modern Homo Sapiens. death is a necessary balance and check for human beings. without it we would not appreciate life and those here would endeavour to live forever rather than steer humanity forward in successive generations.

worse but I bet it would be harder to have children to balance out things.
Humans would become Gods because of all the knowledge they would have attained and retained.
The earth would also be over populated and humans would have no option but to move to other planets. And through the dispensation of humans across the universe the secret place of the angels would be discovered.
God foresaw all that and rightfully put an end to it.
The entire world would be india. Too many people, not enough resources and complete poverty
Definitely higher suicide rate
