Your cells stop replicating after a certain number of replications. This is a safeguard against cancer. It's kind of like sickle cell anemia and malaria. Sickle cell anemia makes you immune to malaria, but you die of oxygen starvation. Your cells have a max number of replications, keeping cancer from being able to develop too far, but you die of old age. Or the flip side, cancer does its thing. Either way you die, old age or cancer, malaria or oxygen starvation.
