It's actually not a terrible assumption. If someone was going to live to 1000 years old, they are probably already alive today.
It's possibly more likely we will destroy ourselves in that time frame though... So 50-50, you're either immortal or you aren't.
I think if we ever unlock immortality, we better unlock light speed travel and colonize other planets before that. The planet is already taking a beating with mortal humans.
