Inspired by this article about a jellyfish that doesn’t die of old age, injury or poor conditions, it just reverts back to a juvenile state and is reborn genetically identical. If you could be reborn, as you, would you want to?

Edit: Just the physical you, genetic and presumably epigenetic, no memory.

    If you dont keep your memory its no different than a new human being born, so I guess the only question is if I want my exact genetics to keep existing and get more chances to pass them on. I dont really care about that so its whatever for me.

      I came to the same conclusion after a while. Then I thought how some people view progeny as a form of immortality. This is maybe a tad more direct.
