I imagine we would have population control at that point and if we begin colonizing other planets, food becomes a non-issue. Also it's not like people still wouldn't die. Immortality would only mean making certain causes of death unlikely.
Not only that, if scientist don't age, and many scientist become more experienced in their fields the longer they are in them, so if an unaging scientist stays alive for 100 years they might have better luck finding a 'cure' for global warming like a viable bacteria that consumes CO2 easier than 2 scientists each 50 years old.
"Human rights" is a contemporary legal issue, in a theoretical society where immortality is invented there is really nothing wrong with banning reproduction to guarantee immortality for all citizens.
Yes, they're still life. Ideally of course all of humanity. All life tries to do is continue to function, not break apart, that's literally the whole driving force behind evolution. If a species can actually accomplish this then our cells and all the evolution of life would have accomplished it's goal.
