This would result in a change of the development pattern from the gradual increasing slope we have now as finite beings, to a period of stagnation interspersed with flurries of advancement whenever one immortal should meet his end - it would probably develop almost into a religious tradition, honoring the fallen with an improvement in the way the world is.
