Killing off the misbehaving cells is an obvious solution but this must also shorten the organisms lifespan via organ failure.
You only get so many divisions from the zygote before a cell line must be killed off, put into senescence, or it starts malfunctioning due to accumulated mutations (~60). A good solution produces as many differentiated functional cells as possible while minimizing divisions from the zygote.
Really, this article shows a fundamental misunderstanding of how our bodies work.
