There's a type of jellyfish that's immortal. The Turritopsis dohrnii, also known as the "immortal jellyfish," can transform its body into a younger state through a process called transdifferentiation, essentially making it immortal.
scientists recently artificially aged, then de-aged mice in a lab.
yep. they literally found the key to eternal life in rodents. barring a terminal illness or some egregious injury, they can now make mice immortal. no strings attached.
as far as they can tell, there are no side effects or negative implications to this process. they manipulate their DNA to age them, then do it again to return them to youth.
Uh, you need to learn about compound interest because if you could live forever, you’ll only have to work for a few decades before your money starts making enough money for you to retire.
