I think you're ignoring the "to be accepted" part of the text you quoted. Just because something is what we were "designed" for or how we lived prehistorically doesn't make it right or desirable (nor the opposite--in this case fighting aging--wrong or undesirable).

You're right I am, basically. I offer no insight as to whether the finiteness of our lifespans is "right" or "desirable". And I certainly am not saying that fighting aging is wrong or undesirable. Just that there's a structural reason as to why our organisms are built the way they are -- and a pretty deep structural reason at that.
