Can Marine Biology Help Us Live Forever? Bowhead Whale Can Live 200 Years, Is Cancer Resistant

A 50-ton bowhead whale caught off the Alaskan coast last month had a weapon fragment embedded in its neck that showed it survived a similar hunt — more than a century ago.

Researchers hope this whale’s genes will help reverse human aging

Bowhead whales have been found to live 200 years, much longer than once thought. The cancer rates are astonishingly low for such a large animal, perhaps due to their strong ability to produce proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA).

Quite the contrary, the damn thing won’t even die
Sounds promising, but I hope it won’t mean having my brain transplanted into a whale’s body.

you probably wont notice the difference.

You’d never survive on krill alone…
