Re: OT: here is your eternal life, but would you take it ?
Jokes aside, this is obviously not directly applicable to humans. Several problems of aging in humans are caused by lack of sex hormones, such as osteoporosis. Worms don't even have bones, so there is no way to guess how this would have affected their skeletal system. This is probably a useful step along the road to understanding the aging process in general, though.
