Abolishing death seems costly. Given that identity, as defined by all the data associated with a person, is unaffected by this "death" that the fleshbags who hold these identities seem to insist upon experiencing, perhaps we can instead simply migrate the identity to a different fleshbag; the identity lives on. The processes and data go on, and we don't have to spend a lot abolishing death. New people can simply be assigned an existing identity and all the history that goes with it. We'd be foolish to do this without some thought; for example, we can put on hold identities that are of limited use.
