There has been some new about the “girl that doesn’t age” link. Most of the news is interested in the potential for understanding her condition and how that relates to a modern anti-aging cure. I read about the story on /. and found some of the comments pretty interesting (that is always the case with /.). One in particular:
Old age is a feature, not a bug. With less turn-over it would be difficult to life as a whole to adapt to changing environment.
The rest of the comment was a little wacky, but for a website comment I thought this was pretty insightful in relation to how generation time can influence evolution. Wonder if the 20/20 special will be that insightful.
