There has been some heretics claiming that a banana is superior to the potato, a few burnings should teach the people that there is nothing superior to the holy and glorious potato

I have revamped my opinion.

I believe that banananas are slightly worse than potatoes.

Vivis are pretty liberal about amorous activities... But never trees. That's something only the barbaric outsider foreign nations would do. Animal humanizing?... What does one mean by that? Are we to be considered hippies because the act of torturing animals for fun is considered disgusting in our nation? Til a criteria is placed, the question cannot be answered. Socialist? Are we talking Soviets, Maoists and Cuba? or are we referring to more along the lines of the Nordic model? I mean clean air is considered an inalienable human right in our nation.... If that's oh too radical for you then boy must Aleksandrea be a horrid place to live.

Biological immortality

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Not to be confused with immortalised cell line.

Biological immortality is a state in which the rate of mortality from senescence is stable or decreasing, thus decoupling it from chronological age. Various unicellular and multicellular species, including some vertebrates, achieve this state either throughout their existence or after living long enough. A biologically immortal living being can still die from means other than senescence, such as through injury or disease.

This definition of immortality has been challenged in the Handbook of the Biology of Aging,[1] because the increase in rate of mortality as a function of chronological age may be negligible at extremely old ages, an idea referred to as the late-life mortality plateau. The rate of mortality may cease to increase in old age, but in most cases that rate is typically very high.[2] As a hypothetical example, there is only a 50% chance of a human surviving another year at age 110 or greater.

The term is also used by biologists to describe cells that are not subject to the Hayflick limit on how many times they can divide.

Cell lines[edit]

Main articles: Cell culture and Immortalised cell line

Biologists chose the word "immortal" to designate cells that are not subject to the Hayflick limit, the point at which cells can no longer divide due to DNA damage or shortened telomeres. Prior to Leonard Hayflick's theory, Alexis Carrel hypothesized that all normal somatic cells were immortal.[3]

The term "immortalization" was first applied to cancer cells that expressed the telomere-lengthening enzyme telomerase, and thereby avoided apoptosis—i.e. cell death caused by intracellular mechanisms. Among the most commonly used cell lines are HeLa and Jurkat, both of which are immortalized cancer cell lines. HeLa cells originated from a sample of cervical cancer taken from Henrietta Lacks in 1951.[4] These cells have been and still are widely used in biological research such as creation of the polio vaccine,[5] sex hormone steroid research,[6] and cell metabolism.[7] Normal stem cells and germ cells can also be said to be immortal (when humans refer to the cell line).[citation needed]

Immortal cell lines of cancer cells can be created by induction of oncogenes or loss of tumor suppressor genes. One way to induce immortality is through viral-mediated induction of the large T‑antigen,[8] commonly introduced through simian virus 40 (SV-40).[9]

Organisms[edit]

According to the Animal Aging and Longevity Database, the list of organisms with negligible aging (along with estimated longevity in the wild) includes:[10]

Rougheye rockfish (Sebastes aleutianus) – 205 years

Olm (Proteus anguinus) – 102 years

Painted turtle (Chrysemys picta) – 61 years

Blanding's turtle (Emydoidea blandingii) – 77 years

Eastern box turtle (Terrapene carolina) – 138 years

Red sea urchin (Strongylocentrotus franciscanus) – 200 years

Ocean quahog clam (Arctica islandica) – 507 years

Great Basin bristlecone pine (Pinus longaeva) – 4,713 years

Bacteria and some yeast[edit]

Many unicellular organisms age: as time passes, they divide more slowly and ultimately die. Asymmetrically dividing bacteria and yeast also age. However, symmetrically dividing bacteria and yeast can be biologically immortal under ideal growing conditions.[11] In these conditions, when a cell splits symmetrically to produce two daughter cells, the process of cell division can restore the cell to a youthful state. However, if the parent asymmetrically buds off a daughter only the daughter is reset to the youthful state - the parent isn't restored and will go on to age and die. In a similar manner stem cells and gametes can be regarded as "immortal".
