REGARDLESS OF MOLECULAR TURNOVER. “In its simplest, though still inaccurate form, biological mortality is usually defined as the death of an organism or the termination of its lineage. Immortality would be defined as the indefinite survival of a single organism or of a replicating population regardless of molecular turnover. Imperfect as these definitions are, they do have limited use in understanding some of the fundamental differences between normal and cancer cells.” (Leonard Hayflick).
