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.

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 ?
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.
