It might be argued that testing for complete immortality is hard or even impossible, e.g. ageing not appearing to happen might just mean it was slowed by a factor of 1000. | |

The man might still age, be vulnerable to disease, and be mortal. This is a good answer and was upvoted accordingly. It's hard to know how to test immortality which stops you from dying without trying to kill yourself. A well reasoned answer. | |

If the piercing's shaft or stem or whatever were to be absorbed, then you'd think that the pieces that were not inserted into the body there would just fall off. harder to detect if absorption takes a while of course. Also, if this is really just "super fast cell regeneration", I wonder if the rate of healing varies with the amount of blood flow to the area. Would a helix piercing heal as fast as a lobe? Pierce them all, and test! | |
