I think there is some scientifc interest in this species. I wonder if it's sexual reversion can be maintained while provoking it repreatedly to reproduce in phases that block the reversion. Then it could become a pretty interesting food source for other species. Apparently it's very commin anyway, though. Reproductive reversal based immortality is pretty interesting. In our case, there are lots of ways that life could be extended through advancements in medicine (one can imagine keeping off brain death with tissue replacement and nanochip or micropchip technologies of the future). For more complex creatures, so much of our lifespan depends on meeting fairly basic requirements--not to mention genetic and physical limitations--that we're pretty much bound to fail. Working hearts can now be artifically manufactured from stem cells, but brains and memories are a more troubling problem. Saves recordings and recreation of creative apparatuses still don't stop basic decomposition. The rate of decomposition and the requirement of so many replacements pretty much keeps us mortal, from the standpoint of any easily imagined advances in technology. Our skin is a major organ that we could probably learn to replace, and at the organ level we might be able to keep up. But with so many surgeries, we'd need huge advances in surgical technique to have a chance. One idea would be farming tissues (from stem cells) into organs inside the body. That way the surgical entry would be much less dangerous. The tissue would just need the right coaching. Trouble is, removing old organs once the new ones are ready would be tricky. I could see how evacuation techniques might become advanced to allow this to happen, but then finding a way to sort of "plug in" the new organ would arise. In many cases I suppose new organs could work alongside failing ones.

Blah blah blah we would still have a lot of trouble with disease, decomposition and hormonal shifts. Not to mention issues with maintaining safe blood and bacteria. Some jellyfish > us when it comes to technical mortality. Good for them I guess.

If this is true then that is really fascinating and well cool.

Interesting Need More facts imo.
But when changing younger. Wuts the time period. ?

Lol.


I think it's pretty neat. Even with the simplicity of this organism, to be able to study a cellular process that allows for reverse aging, even at the molecular level must be quite interesting.

i fucked a jellyfish once

now how cool is that?!

What if the Jellyfish stays obstinate

hmm crazyyy

This summarizes that religious fucks shall die and us scientific based society folks will live to surpass the power of "god". He hasn't proven a fucking thing.
