- "It is the first case in which a metazoan is capable of reverting completely to a sexually immature, colonial stage after having reached sexual maturity as a solitary stage. It does this through the cell development process of transdifferentiation. This cycle then repeats, rendering it effectively immortal."

- Turritopsis nutricula is a hydrozoan (jellyfish) with a life cycle in which it reverts back to the polyp stage after becoming sexually mature. It is the first case in which a metazoan (animal) is capable of reverting completely to a sexually immature, colonial stage after having reached sexual maturity as a solitary stage (Piraino, p. 302). It does this through the cell development process of transdifferentiation. This cycle then repeats, rendering it effectively immortal. Hmm... Who wants to become immortal? ;-) I don't. I just want to be able to stay awake 24x7x365, without falling sick or feeling tired!

- Y'know, the flying spaghetti monster sort of looks like a jellyfish. Science has finally proven the existence of God. Please spare us thy fierce sting, o squishy lord and savior.

- so IT IS possible to be immortal From the page: Turritopsis nutricula is a hydrozoan (jellyfish) with a life cycle in which it reverts back to the polyp stage after becoming sexually mature. It is the first case in which a metazoan (animal) is capable of reverting completely to a sexually immature, colonial stage after having reached sexual maturity as a solitary stage. It does this through the cell development process of transdifferentiation. This cycle then repeats, rendering it effectively immortal.
