Very soon as in 30-40 years.

Only because they're delusional and would be scared we're 'playing God'.

Much greater potential.

Breeding would become centralized or heavily controlled (think China x 9000). We would only breed to replace those killed in accidents or to fill a quota for some kind of expansion into new places. The manner of the breeding, whether it's that we're grown in some kind of tanks or more 'naturally' produced is up in the air.
The best part about immortality is not so much the fact you live forever, but it makes people realize that the problems they create now will effect them in the future. It will also completely negate any need for religion to provide false hope, which is another nice bonus.
