Humans with jellyfish genes who live forever because they turn into a cluster of fetuses whenever they experience trauma would make for good sci fi - I imagine something like a Frank Herbert / J.G. Ballard collaboration. Maybe Le Guin.

I have a friend who might already have jellyfish genes...

Great catch. One note: the Japanese marine biologist's name is Shin Kubota.
