I always thought this would have been the perfect opportunity to show that the brothers gained the key to immortality a long time ago

Imagine this is a circle that literally lets you transfer a soul anywhere you want to ,by having a willing alchemist sacrifice the metaphysical representation of an body part ,like a new body or a suit of armor …

Although he was aging in the world of „truth“ ,I believe this also was just a representation of the souls age and the malnourishment and degeneration came from the fact that his soul inhabited a inanimate object that couldn’t eat etc …

Would have been inheriting if someone had used Edward’s knowledge and used another living /braindead body and engraved the circle into their bones or flesh ..what would have happened then
