Now assume that living forever will result in infinite gain.

I also think this is a bad assumption. Think of it in terms of time preference. In order to realize the infinite gain, you have to wait an infinite amount of time. How can you possibly put a positive value on something that you have to wait an infinite amount of time for?

Okay smart boy, let me rephrase it: Assume living forever will mean an infinite gain. I'm not saying you get the gain after you've lived forever, I'm saying assume life is a gain, and since it's forever, it's an infinite gain. You don't have to "wait forever" to start reaping the rewards.
