Hello, I was wondering what planaria has to do with the world. I know that 
planarians can regenerate when you cut them in half. They can transfer 
memory to eachother. You can teach a planarian to do something like run 
through a maze and then kill it and feed it to another planarian, and the 
other planarian will learn the same exact thing. It will master the maze 
like that. THey are very intelligent and smart flatworms. I just wanted to 
know what can be proved of it and if there is anything further that can be 
done to it. I also wanted to know if it had any relevance to the human 
race and how it may affect us. THank you very much. Please e-mail me back 
if you have any ideas and further information,
