1> Current actuarial tables have us dying by 550-650 even if there was no aging. Stuff like car accidents, slipping in the shower, etc. 2> "I think the expiration date is there to prevent overpopulation" implies evolution has a purpose.

That's what evolution is like: Whatever processes happened to survive. That TPS report may have some value, it may be easily replaced by a more logical item, or it may be completely useless. Just the fact the process of filing a TPS report before leaving for vacation exists, doesn't mean it's necessary for the health of the organization. 3> Populations the world over are manually dropping their procreation rates to near replacement levels.
