Re: Scientists create super mice that regenerate lost limbs. Are super humans next? [Re: Prosgeopax]

Hmm... I'm still suspicious.

Now I'm suspicious because one of the articles said that the trait was passed on to the next generation.

That doesn't make any sense unless maybe it is passed through the mother similarly to how an infectious agent might be.


Good grief, can you imagine if immortality were highly contageous.

What if it started jumping from species to species, and the aging process stopped working on most humans and many other mamals, reptiles, fungi, bacteria...oh wait, bacteria are already immortal... sponges, plants, invertabrates, arachnids, etc...


Maybe this has happened before in the Earth's history. I wonder what conditions came about afterwards that caused aging to return to the ecosystem. Obviously death plays an important part in natural selection, and survival of a species, but is aging inevetable?

Species are immortal. Not the individuals themselves, but in a broader sense "life" is imortal... unless something kills it. New organisms are created from old organisms all the time.

Babies, as you may have noticed, are typically born young.

Are there any unexplained sudden shifts in the evolutionary rate of the fossil record? I would suspect that an "immortality" epidemic would result in a mass extinction, but something would still be utilizing all the natural resources available in nature, total biomass IMHO would not change drastically.


Maybe it's Mother Nature's way of killing off sentient species.

We should probably wait until the study is published in a peer review journal so it sees the light of day (one of the articles I read said that it would be). I would be interested in seeing follow ups to this story.

1.)  !  just wow.


2.)  Why the discussion of immortality?  The article points it out as clear as day
