A week ago, I made a visit to Pompeii, a land of ancient people immortalised in plaster.
But on the subject of immortality, there exists a jellyfish that is invading Earth’s oceans. Like a phoenix, it can regenerate its body once it has matured to adult stage, back into the younger polyp state. Humans can regenerate organs and tissue to some extent, but the Hydrozoan jellyfish regenerates all of its cells to a younger state.
Does this mean that humans could unlock the long sought-after secrets of immortality? And if they do, what will become of post-discovery-of-immortality Earth? The World could sink into pandemonium and bloodshed between supporters and opposers.
The jellyfish is now worried to be increasing in population at a perturbing rate, saturating the oceans of the World with their quantity. Similar to the advance of humans with their evolutionary advantage of intelligence, these jellyfish are dominating the waters with their superior ability to regenerate.
