The Hayflick limit is very susceptible to culture conditions. Either in vivo
it's not the critical
limit or in vivo it's not immutable. It's not like the Hayflick limit per se
is a killer - 60 replications
would allow you to replace each of your cells 1,000,000 times. That should
last a while.
True stem cells don't have Hayflick limits under proper conditions,
incidentally.
