Why can’t we live forever if we keep transplanting new/younger organs

If a person keeps transplanting new / younger organs (Let say every 10 years you replace one part). I understand there’s compatibility issues but barring that is that technically not possible? Or does our brain literally just shuts down after time as-well?

Not sure why you limit your replacement to organs – how about skin, bones, cartilage, nerves, blood vessels … if you think about it – how would you operate to do this?. Also – what is the source of the ‘new’ supply? Other younger people?
