KEY TO IMMORTALITY MAY BE FOUND IN FLATWORM?

LONDON, U.K. - Forget expensive lotions and potions — the key to becoming immortal could be found in flatworms, scientists say.
The worms, which live in lakes and ponds, hold the remarkable ability to regenerate — effectively living forever.
If one is cut in half, the head portion grows a tail and the tail portion grows a head. Nottingham University scientists have created a colony of more than 20,000 worms, all from one original, whose bodies and organs don't seem to age.
Knowing more about how the worms safely do this could help stem cell scientists achieve their Holy Grail — the growth of new hearts, livers or brain cells in a dish.
