If a cell detects that its DNA is corrupted due to an error in translation it will create a cascade of events that is called apoptosis. During apoptosis the cell will flip its membrane inside out and the macrophages will detect the inner membrane of the cell as abnormal, since its flipped out.

General answer: it prevents cells that have corrupted DNA from dividing which would make even more corrupt cells and it would divide even more and as you can see bad.

ITs for the good of the organism, animal, plant, etc.
