I think it helps to reframe the problem this way: If people somehow magically stopped dying of old age tomorrow, would we choose to solve the resource problems that caused by re-implementing anything similar to death as it exists now? Say, for example, by executing everyone at the age of 75? I think we'd be much more likely to prefer an alternative solution, such as restricting birth rates.
