What do you think they're going to do with all those "spare" body parts?
More seriously, I'm not terribly concerned about resources. Malthus penned his thoughts about how population growth would outstrip the planet's resources more than 200 years ago. He wasn't even close.
I also think population overcrowding is already basically taking care of itself with birthrates declining as wealth increases.
You also have to assume that immortality tech isn't something that's going to be freely available to everyone. The people who can pay to live forever are the very people who tend not to have many children.
