Instead they chose a more complicated method, keeping Sylar alive. I mean he can heal. Like Peter did when he met Adam.... What happens when Nathan discovers he can't get sick, die, what if Nathan is shot and the whole of his body heals and so does his brain???
So many freakin complications. Are people this inept?

Yes.

The audience all knows whats going to happen, obviously sylar isn't going to go on that way. He'll figure it out eventually, would be even stupider if he didn't. And even worse it ruins the emotionality of nathan dieing.

It doesn't make sense to think that Bennett, the man who's been chasing Sylar for years, the man who views Sylar as the #1 threat against Claire, the man who blames Sylar for nearly killing his wife and ending their marriage would stand there and agree to this. This was his one and only chance to end Sylar as a threat, and he should know that keeping him alive would only lead to a bigger disaster (like it did when they the Company ignored his pleas to kill Sylar the first time they caught him). He should've been trying to talk Parkman out of doing what he did, not talk him into it.
For that matter, Parkman should've been trying to talk her out of it too. He's had to deal with death and the desperate desire to hang on. He knows you can't truly bring back the dead (despite the wishes of the writing staff).
Everybody in that room who had an ounce of common sense, knowing what Sylar is capable of should've told her hell no to what she suggested, and in one fell swoop, they abandoned all of it, without any regard to the monstrous mess they will inevitably create.
Tim Kring has no regard for character development.
