> Isn’t it better to focus on other ways to reduce suffering?

Why?

> ways to treat diseases

Aging underlies tons of diseases. (It’s similar to obesity in that way.)

> death is a way to “enforce” change. Sometimes it’s bad, other times it’s good

This is true of everything bad. You could use this logic for ceasing research into curing cancer, trauma medicine or seatbelts and traffic lights.

> of course it can be made against anything good

Which makes it a pointless argument. (And implicit concession that you’re arguing against something good.)

> When you work until you’re, say, 80, what happens? You have less time to enjoy some rest

…why? You have more time.

In a world without aging, retirement at 80 would be an objectively better deal than retiring at 60 today. You’d be retiring with a body that hasn’t started failing. And you’d have more years, on average, ahead of you.

> there is less room for people taking your job and gaining experience because you are as productive as always

Lump of labour fallacy. (Average adult lifespans have gone up over the last two centuries. That has accompanied more, not less, labour-market dynamism.)
