AT moment of our lives do the cells of our bodies

place of older Without this faculty the continuation
of life would be impossible.
Like the protocol other primitive beings, the
cells of body after short period of existence divide
into two giving birth to two young cells WHICH continue
the cycle of division and renewal throughout whole life

This renewal of the cells does not cease with the
approach of old age, but merely slows down.
Why should be able to accelerate the cycle Of
