Indeed, AFAIK this is also one of the proposed explanations for why we suffer from age-related decay in the first place: there hasn’t been a strong evolutionary pressure to develop maintenance mechanisms that could keep our body running indefinitely, since it was more effective to just create organisms that would be good at reproducing and surviving while they were young.
