Biweekly reminder about Turritopsis Dohrnii, aka the Immortal Jellyfish, which can literally make itself younger by using its earlier genetic code yo transform into a new polyp colony (a polyp is what jellyfish come out of, comparable to a cocoon.) Yes, it can do this forever, however it is unlikely due to the lack of consciousness in jellyfish (?). They only respond by this whenever they experience a traumatic event (e.g. their ”crown” being artificially cut, or a starvation.) The only person to have started a colony of these to keep them forever is Japanese scientist Shin Kubota, who regularly updates the public about it, and even writes songs about them.
Any questions?
