    There’d have to be some degradation over time. Unless they’re repairing the DNA using computerized backups or something.

      The stem cells themselves are self-repairing and self replicating. Quoting Wikipedia:

      Due to the self-renewal capacity of stem cells, a stem cell line can be cultured in vitro indefinitely.

      Currently all embryonic stem cell research and therapies in the US are conducted using only 486 cultures.
