There have been a lot of experiments into this. Do a google search
on Hayflick: He was able to show that most cells will only divide a set number
of times, and then they disintegrate.
However, that's not the same as the programmed cell death that I
posted stuff on a few weeks ago, whereby certain cells initiate suicide
processes as part of normal "healthy" functioning of the organism. The fact that
organisms actually have such a capability is what amazes me.

Subject: [ROSEN] cell split and
death
I was wondering if anyone has thought about what i
am
thinking.
Any observation has been done on the ballance
between
cell split and cell death and how such ballance
is
maintained?
If cells go through stages such as infancy,
youth,
middle and senior age, at what stages do cells die?
