Look … it’s a wikipedia article. About a kind of jellyfish. And you better put a helmet on, so you don’t make a mess when your mind gets blown.

I suppose it could be argued that all single-celled creatures are immortal, since they reproduce by fission. This is the first multi-cellular life that I have heard of to be immortal. This might send the longevity researchers scurrying. I have this image of a future quasi-humanity going into sessile, larval stage from time to time, to ensure immortality.
I don’t think I’d want to go there. Like Stephen Wright – I don’t want EVERYTHING. Where would I put it? I don’t want immortality What would I do with it? SF has explored this question endlessly, MOSTLY picturing human immortals as pretty much bored. Exception was Heinlein, who managed through Lazarus Long to make it entertaining…
If I could have the same level of health as I do now, I’d go for immortality in a heart beat. Yes, everybody I love would die. I’d find new ones. I don’t doubt my infinite capacity for love, fun and learning.
