USA - ‘Eternal Life’ Pill?
Experts estimate that the “fountain of youth” pill may be on the horizon, thanks to a jellyfish-like marine creature called Hydractinia symbiolongicarpus, which regenerates its entire body from cells located in its mouth.
Hydractinia are tiny tube-shaped creatures that live on the shells of rare crustaceans. Their remarkable regenerative abilities are expected to have implications for healthcare and anti-aging treatments.
These abilities were discovered after researchers sequenced pieces of RNA, which are related to the biological process of gene aging.
Dr. Andy Baxevanis from the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) in the US stated, “By studying some of our most distant animal relatives, we can start to unravel some of the secrets of regeneration and aging—secrets that may ultimately advance the field of regenerative medicine and the study of age-related diseases as well.”

Commentary
The headline of the article grabs your attention, with the idea that simply taking a pill can lead to an unending life on earth. While these scientists may in the future be able to extend life by a few years with such advancements, the unavoidable reality remains that all will die.
The real question is whether one has eternal life after one dies, which is only possible through “faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me” (Galatians 2:20b). -By K. Farmer
