RE: A new research paper finds that naked mole-rats (Heterocephalus glaber) don’t have biological age like most other other organisms do! Could they be biologically immortal?

Yeah, that is pretty much what biological immortality is. Think of it as a 1000-year old human being as fit as a 30 year old, and both of them having the exact same chance to die from other causes. In normal situations older people have a much higher chance to die than those who are younger.
