Why do we stop growing?!


Question: Why do we stop growing!?
I know that we grow because our cells divide [[or something like that]], but why do we stop!? Why don't we just keep growing taller and taller!?
Just curious!

Answers:
because otherwise we'd be too big like ^_^

nah, i got explanation here

"our genes start working at the moment of conception when a single cell becomes a complex organism in which billions of cells work in concert!. Once we are born, we continue to grow and develop until the completion of our genetic growth cycle!. At this point our genetic program tells us to stop growing!."Www@Answer-Health@Com

There are a set of instructions in our genes that tell the cells when to stop multiplying (growth)!. If we kept on growing taller and taller we would not survive (think about this) Would need bigger and bigger houses, clothes, when we got up to the upper atmosphere we would have not oxygen!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
