Red blood cells lose their nucleus at maturity. It is kicked out, lost or nuked (depending how you want to call it) to make more room for hemoglobin. The nucleus makes as much as possible, packs it in tight and then is lost. Because the nucleus is gone, the cell can not repair itself and will get tattered and rather worn out in about 120 days. It will be recycled.
