Oct 14, 2008 - ha hathe answers to your qustions:1. not staged and both have virtually no camera experience... must be the interviewer's excellent technique.2. not actors.3. impossible to test if the planarians can live forever, and the worms CAN be killed... but the powers of regeneration suggest maybe they can live forever!4. I don't know if all the scientists are "hot", but they are certainly clever.
