This isn't a compelling pro-death argument. Yes, culture, rituals, customs would have to change in a negligibly senescent society. Yes, it's hard to imagine what that would look like. Avoiding that difficulty and ambiguity is not worth the preventable deaths of all human beings though.

Trying to imagine social impacts is too grand and can lead to making you think it's hopeless because you can't imagine how to order the future society. Of course, you aren't in charge of society, so don't worry about it. Worry about yourself and your family.

Imagine that you're at the hospital with your grandmother, or your mother, or your wife. The doctor says "She's got a degenerative disease. She's going to become frail, lose her mental faculties, and die. Oh, of course, I could prescribe this medication which would restore her to perfect health, but I'm not sure about the broader cultural implications..."

Would you prefer that your loved one sicken and die? I wouldn't. I think we can figure out the social and economic problems. We should solve aging and death as quickly as possible.

Seems optimistic. We are decidely bad at figuring out exactly those kinds of problems right now.

Eh, I’ll take that over literally dying.
