Most human cells can only reproduce 60 times. When a cell reproduces the tip of each chromosome gets slightly shorter. When the tip has been reduced to a certain point the cell can no longer reproduce. Only the cells in your bone marrow and liver can reproduce forever.

When do you need new cells?

Like your body, your cells have a lifespan, they can't live forever, and they get old and perform less efficiently with time. This is why they are reproduced, so that new, healthier ones can take the old one's place. However, dead cells aren't entirely useless. The outer layer of our skin, as well as our hair, is made up entirely of dead cells, and aids in protecting us from the sun and germs.
