    Pursuing human immortality using jellyfish cells is not supported due to religious, biological, and overpopulation concerns. It may alter human cells and mental state. Without death, world population would continue rising, straining resources and causing pollution problems. Religions believe in an afterlife that immortality would prevent exploring. The effects of mixing species' cells are unknown and could change human nature.
