[edit] It's Immortal!
OMG! An immortal animal! That gene must be transplanted into our DNA immediately!!!Not sure how we are going to just transform into any embryo again... Nescio sed Scio 04:18, 3 March 2007 (UTC) HOLY FUCKING SHIT OMG I CANT BELIEVE IT IT'S IMMORTAL!
I agree, I can't understand why there is an immortal life form and no one (as far as I've heard) has attempted to apply this ability to humans or at least use the jellyfish for some kind of medical science. However, it sounds too good to be true, like if we could become children again, would we lose our memories?24.118.227.213 14:18, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
- We wouldnt lose our memories, we'd just die.
We will not lose our memories in my opinion. First of all we would not seek to reduce ourselves back to a single cell again only hyper-accelerate the gene back to it's first stage form in-which is the point of base energy point 0.0. Memories are a completely different process.
Memories are contained in our brains through electric pulses (at least, I think that's how the brain works), and as the brain regresses back to an earlier state some pluses might be lost as our brains change; even if they aren't, our brains might eventually forget much of our previous lives the longer we live. We might also change in behavior when we become younger, and we would eventually become insane from the changes to our bodies and memory overload as time went on.24.118.227.213 (talk) 09:56, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
Oh, by the way, I undid the revision to the talk page because someone revised it into nothing. The reason they did this is because "talk pages are for discussion about the article, not it's subject". Pardon me, but isn't discussing the article also discussing it's subject? I guess I'm being a bit sarcastic, because the answer is obviously yes. One more thing, no one cares or if they do, no one should care what the users put on talk pages, just what they put in the article itself, because Wikipedia is not only for encyclopedic information but also for entertainment purposes.24.118.227.213 (talk) 15:09, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
- What the deleter meant was that talk page discussions are now confined to how an article should be written, which rarely includes a discussion of the subject itself, because Wikipedia isn't a source (so there's no way for our opinions on the subject to be relevant to article content).
- Please read: 4. Discussion forums which summarizes this policy:
- "talk pages exist for the purpose of discussing how to improve articles; they are not mere general discussion pages about the subject of the article".
- For example, my opinion that the Turritopsis nutricula genes are irrelevant to most human asperations of immortality shouldn't be discussed here, but my suggestion that we cite researchers arguing this point should be written on this page.
- However, the person that deleted this discussion probably also violated the Wikipedia guideline to assume good faith, and Wikipedia:Please do not bite the newcomers since it's rude and off-putting just to delete an enthusiastic thread without a more detailed explanation. After all, this policy is counter-intuitive to the new-comer.
- If a contribution isn't directly about textual changes in Wikipedia article content it should by politely redirected to a Wiki IRC channel.

[edit] Picture
I feel like this is a really cool article that could benefit from a picture. I have never really added a picture to a wiki, and am not sure how to do it.. But I think it could use one. p337 (talk) 06:33, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
