Don't know the suitable subtrope of Immortality, but I'm sure it's established that people DO age and at the very least carry diseases, even if they can no longer die from either. Plus, the nature of the non-death includes injury like gunshot and stabbings.

''Torchwood: Miracle Day'' is the fourth series of ''Series/{{Torchwood}}'', which began airing on Starz on July 8, 2011. It's a ten-part miniseries, similar to ''[[Series/TorchwoodChildrenOfEarth Children of Earth]]'' in tone. The storyline is a {{BBC}} America / Starz co-production that's set in both Britain and America. Covering the equivalent screen time of 20 episodes of the original ''Doctor Who'' series, this makes it the longest single storyline in the history of the franchise. [[hottip:*:''Doctor Who's'' record is either 12 or 14 half-hour episodes, depending on if you count ''The Trial of a Time Lord'' as four stories or one.]]

''Miracle Day'' takes place two years after the traumatic events of ''Children of Earth''. People on Earth have very suddenly [[TheAgeless stopped dying]], mystifying experts and straining the Earth's resources. This is PlayedForDrama, as every single realistic result of unending death is explored: people trapped in explosions remain conscious and in horrifying agony forever, both normal hospital procedures and the entire legal system need to be revised within days, the normal 50% in-utero mortality rate of severely disfigured fetuses is no longer in effect, and the undeath is soon found to be AgeWithoutYouth.
