Yes it is true that there have been those that sought immortality with evil intentions. However, that does not mean that immortality itself is evil. There are many things in the world that can be both good and bad for humanity. Should that mean they should not be used because they have bad qualities as well? Furthermore, society is changing and those in power for now might not be in power forever if they do obtain eternal life. I recommend listening to Aubrey de Grey of the SENS Research Foundation and hear his argument for why we should not be concerned about tyrants and dictators when researching the possible of indefinite healthspan in humans (i say healthspan because saying indefinite lifespan sounds like living forever while having the body of a much older being, rather that maintaining a youthful body). Medicine itself is created to help us live longer and healthier. Today's research is just going to aid in the objective on an exponential level.
