No, my point with "functionally" is that it can be killed.

Biological immortality is a very specific concept indicating an absence of aging and the absence of an increase in expected mortality along with age.

I just mean that something can still eat it. This is an easy concept to understand if you're not focused on correcting people needlessly.

This is what I mean by functionally.

Hey it's my first thought on hearing that Boeing satellite "exploded for no reason".

There is a species of jellyfish which is functionally immortal. When they get too old they simply turn into children again and re-age.

Edit: I'm not saying it's not biologically immortal, I'm saying functionally immortal because I'm indicating that it can still be killed.

Saying something doesn't experience aging is not the same as insisting it cannot die.

2+2=4 is not less correct because 2x2 also equals 4.

He can drop his lawsuit if he likes, but the countersuit isn't up to him.
