More human than human

Accelerated decrepitude is an issue we all have to deal with. If only we could confront our creator(s) and force them to let us live longer, stronger, harder, faster, better, cooler, etc. We assume our average lifespan is just an arbitrary number that made sense when god answered the question; "How long do they need to lead a productive life?" Sixty to eighty years should be plenty. If we don't manage it by then we probably wouldn't in a thousand.

What are humans supposed to do with this short (productive) period of time? That's another reason to interrogate the divine architect. Why do these cells get old and stop working properly? It's not like paper dolls where one more fold and cut leaves too little material. Each new cell divides away from an old cell like a baby separating from a womb. If the real baby can live eighty years spawned from twenty to forty year-old material, why can't we gestate all new flesh and blood throughout our bodies every couple of years and molt off all the dysfunctional layers like Homer when he figures out the moral of a Simpsons episode. So many questions. No wonder god ignores us.

It's not an easy thing to meet your maker.
