Our cells are programmed to die!

An experiment conducted back in 1965 by Dr. Leonard Hayflick, show that our cells have a molecular clock, which starts ticking from the moment we’re born. That clock determines our cells’ life span, and hence our death!

According to his investigation (Hayflick limit), humans can only possibly live up to 120 years old since our cells are programmed to die. All of our cells undergo a process called apoptosis, which is their programmed cellular death. At some point in our lives our cells are all programmed to go through apoptosis and not regenerate!

If our cells weren’t programmed to die, we would all have cancer since they would all just grow without having anything to stop them!Therefore, be grateful for apoptosis, and stay in school.
