Does immortality really exist?

We humans cannot believe that immortality really exists...

There is a species of jellyfish called Turritopsis dohrnii. The immortal jellyfish is the only one animal we have discovered on the Earth to defeat death. But how? By switching life forms from medusa to polyp.

But even the immortal jellyfish can die if eaten or gotten sick. What can jellyfish get eaten by? Turtles can eat jellyfish by not stinging themselves, with their thick skin and armored shell.

The immortal jellyfish is made up of a bell/head, tons of tentacles, a stomach, and a gonad. It looks like a small thimble-shaped bell with lots of tentacles and with bright red colors inside of its bell/head. Its size is about 1cm (about 0.39 inches) in height. This weird animal is in the class of Hydrozoa. This jelly has an interesting 3 life cycl


es of immortality which all end at polyp formation.

The turritopsis’s does not really sting humans but captures its prey with tentacles containing stinging cells called nematocysts which contain toxic venom. This weird jellyfish is the one and only species which means that there is only one turritopsis dohrnii that we have discovered on earth. The list of the predators of this species has sharks, turtles, swordfish and even sometimes penguins.

If you read this, then can you imagine us humans living forever? Would it be good for us, for the Planet, for the Universe?
