That would have to suck! You try, but the metaphasic radiation just regenerates your cells. It would be like in "Groundhog Day." You gotta feel sorry for the Baku!
shareI guess they'd just opt to leave the planet, then commit suicide.

Whose idea was it for the word "Lisp" to have an "S" in it?
I'd like to see how the radiation would reattach a severed head.
shareWhat if it created two Baku?
shareBecause their worms?
START THE REVOLUTION! SHRED THE GOVERNMENT! My favorite movie is V for Vendetta.

They were not immortal in the absolute sense in the novelization the boy's mother had died which I assume was an accident since she could not have died from disease or age, maybe she accidentally fell off a cliff or something?
BUT....
Imagine TORTURE. You could keep torturing someone you hold prisoner and unlike on Earth they would heal better and faster and would NOT die. You could torture someone every day for fifty years and your victim would not age and would heal from every brutal thing you do to them (INCLUDING GROWING BACK LOST LIMBS!!) so there would be no permanent physical damage but they would have to endure constant pain and suffering it would be HELL.
Imagine PRISON:. On Earth sometimes if a person commits a really terrible crime they get absurd sentences that are essentially life, like "500 years with the possibility of parole after 350". I am not sure why my country gives out sentences like this and does not just call it LIFE WITHOUT PAROLE. It is pointless since nobody lives that long but imagine if you lived on a planet like that and did something really horrible and actually got put in prison with a multicentury sentence. You would actually HAVE TO SERVE THE ENTIRE THING!! What would someone be like after serving a few centuries in prison? Imagine trying to adjust to freedom after that??
