Number 4 doesn't say it has to kill to work.
Have a young person hold it who wants to escape the oppression of youth.
Then I cut myself on it, somewhere mid forearm where it doesn't hurt as much, and hold it there.
They get "old enough" to be treated like a person, I get back in my prime, everybody wins.
Ok but chase that concept through capitalism. Control of the sword falls into the wrong hands, and that person becomes immeasurably powerful. Inevitably you end us with a dystopian nightmare where the ruling class trades youth to the rich and connected, while creating a market for poor sacrificial children.
Sword like that, best to drop it into the ocean.
Isn't selling the best years of your life to old capitalists pretty much how capitalism already works?
You also sell the wear and tear of your body. So, arguably this is better.
You're right, this is just more literal.
