Is that viable in reality though? Your body is a society of cells, each one prepared to kill itself upon malfunction. If a cell fails to suicide, it will be killed by other cells specifically patrolling for malfunctioning cells to kill. If that fails, we call it cancer, and the whole body dies of it. Apparently societies must retain the ability to induce parts of them to kill themselves, or risk total annihilation.
