Animals eat their disabled children. Humans should also do it then, since it's normal or natural.

Around 100k people die from age-related disease every day. I'd be careful to dismiss that as not a problem.

And them not dying would be an even bigger problem on pretty much every single metric I can think of

Yes, people grow old, but I don’t think there’s a rational fear people will ever live forever. However, there are diseases and conditions that are age-related that if solved would improve people’s quality of life, especially the last decade or two of their lives.

I believe it would be a far greater problem if those people didn't die. Aging populations are a huge problem around the globe and unless we'd improve the quality of life to such a margin that octo- and nonagenarians are able to care for each other, I think we're all better off with people dying of old age.
