When they say she doesn't age, what do they mean? In order for her to survive she has to age at least in some respects (related to cell functions). | ||

Oh and at first I thought she would be able to talk but it's sad that her brain doesn't develop at all. :/ | ||

There was almost no scientific information offered in that video which is pretty lame. When they say she doesn't age, what do they mean? In order for her to survive she has to age at least in some respects (related to cell functions). Yeah - it wasn't entirely clear as to whether she simply fails to develop into an adult human or she literally doesn't age. The latter implies that she is immune to (or somehow copes with) the damage and waste accumulation normally associated with the aging process. This seems very unlikely. What it seems like they are proposing is that much of aging is just as much a part of the genetically determined human life cycle as growing is - meaning, your genes predetermine that you become decrepit and consequently die (the evolutionary argument for this would be so that you'd allow resources for new generations). I didn't even know this was seriously considered a possibility. Given the case for aging cause by accumulation of waste and damage a genetic component seems superfluous. It seems that throughout much of human evolution much of the population would never have survived to die of old age, so if that's true it might be unlikely that enough of the population could live to old age such that an aging process could have been selected for. | ||
