If scientists can learn from this organism how cells unlearn and become stem cells, replacing worn-out or mutilated tissues in organs may be easier. However, the process of growing old and the continual shortening of telomeres in our cells will be there in any case.

Looking at food and water shortages and the growing population, I guess this technology should not come in the hands of human beings or else ultra rich will try to use it to stay alive for long and use up the worldly resources meant for all.
