i don't want to live in a world where death is no more. No more than a fleeing moment and yet so devastating.

When the line is crossed, man will be filled with profound feelings of fulfilment. Humanity's long relationship with death and immortality will finally reach its conclusion. They do make up in the end but their relationship will never be the same again. 

Most definitely, immortality will not be for everyone. Decades might pass before it is accessible to whoever wishes to overcome the possibility of natural death. The technology/procedure{?}, will be standardized by then and the operational costs will be at their lowest level. The hype from the techno-bourgeoisie will finally settle down and the masses will be allowed to access it and the multinational to profit from the working classes.

How much of a difference does it make if the solution to death allows humans to reproduce themselves without any consequences? Would more people go for it?

Let's say immortality is normalised and humans do/can not reproduce and the last of us (the immortals) eventually kill ourselves at a peak of a never-ending existential crisis. Ghosts of the dead will haunt our dreams longing to be in our shoes. It may naturally be that to find peace with the dead one must reproduce and preserve humanity.
