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?

The problem is, you probably die of some sort of cancer. Most likely brain cancer (because you can’t change your brain).

But If you’re lucky and won’t get cancer, you have to deal with Alzheimer. Something you probably get because we get older and older. There isn’t much we know about Alzheimer, but most people think it is some sort of protection to not “overload” our brains.
