Speculative Idea: What If We Removed the Limits on Human Biological Adaptation?

I collaborated with an AI (ChatGPT-4) to develop a thought experiment about accelerating human biological adaptation. It explores whether removing the cellular replication limit (like the Hayflick limit) could unlock faster immune adaptation and environmental resilience, similar in spirit to sci-fi creatures like the Zerg from StarCraft — but grounded in biology.

It touches on telomerase, cancer, immune learning, and the philosophical/ethical implications of pushing these boundaries. Would love to hear what others in the HN community think.
