I argue that all organisms suffer from rot. There is thermodynamic lower bound on rot. The larger & more complex the organism is the more rot. I argue that biological life solves this fundamental problem by a bounded-error lifecycle strategy.
The germline doesn’t rot, though. Human egg and sperm-producing cells must maintain (epi-)genomic integrity indefinitely.

Germlines do rot. It’s just countered by branching and pruning faster than the rot.
