"Programming" is not an appropriate analogy.

Two things need to be considered. Natural selection is primarily an issue of
the fitness of an organism only up to the point where it is no longer able
to reproduce and care for its young - its survival after that is not nearly
as relevant, so attributes that solely contribute to longevity beyond
reproductive/child rearing age would not be as likely to be selected for,
unless those attributes also contribute to the continued survival of the
offspring, or their small group, to reproductive age.

It depends a lot on the social dynamics of the species and how involved the
parent or parents are with the survival of the offspring or group.

It helps to keep in mind that from a biological standpoint, we're simply a
means for our genes to pass themselves along, and whether a particular
attribute is selected for or against depends on how it contributes to that
goal.
