You would still need to age, but it would be nice to "reset" the countdown!
The reason aging needs to happen is because you need exfoliate and replace older cells.  If not, they will keep layering.  If that happened, you could, for example, have really THICK SKIN.  You wouldn't want to be thick skinned would you?

Yes, but here is the part you missed. During cell regeneration do you want a "degraded" replacement or a exact copy?

Fair enuff, but what would you do for all that long time?



P.S.  How much would you charge for the M408 from EDM Arms.[:D]

No...
the tail on the DNA that seems to count down for the number of replications.  All you gotta do it reset it every now and then.  But if you eliminate the death of a cell, the cycle will not complete and things will get weird.
And on a larger scale...Earth's life resources will deplete fast.  You need death and decomposing to complete nature's balance.

I would in a heartbeat.

To address the others aging around you, it already happens.  People I have known have died.  I buried my father two years ago.  It's tough, but you move on.

It's obvious you don't have children.

Yes, but we'd better be to the point of colonizing other planets. Can you imagine how crowded this planet would get if the vast majority of people (and their children, grandchildren, etc) never died?

There is a beginning, middle, and end to everything.

I don't believe I would want to be stuck in the middle forever.
