New Research Shows ‘Harvesting Blood & Body Parts of the Young’ Could Help Achieve ‘Immortality’
2022-05-17
Could This Be the Reason Biden is Importing Unaccompanied Children?
Unaccompanied child illegal immigrants tend to be riddled with infections and parasites, and so would make terrible blood&body parts donors. A cure considerably worse than the disease of aging, in my opinion. Better — and much cheaper — to get an infusion of the intestinal fauna of some healthy old guy, whether in pill form or as an old-fashioned poop milkshake (fecal transplant, for those who prefer the Latin medicalese).
[InfoWars] No longer just a "trope in horror novels."

New scientific research by Stanford University reveals that "harvesting the blood and body parts of the young in the hope of achieving immortality" is no longer just a "trope in horror novels," but a feasible likelihood.

Yes, really.

According to a report by the Telegraph newspaper, research by Stanford shows that "infusing cerebrospinal fluid of young mice into old mice improves brain function," opening the door for similar applications to humans.

The Stanford team infused fluid from 10-week-old mice into the brains of 18-month-old mice over seven days, and found that older mice were better at remembering to associate a small electric shock with a noise and flashing light.

Closer examination showed the fluid had "woken up" processes which regenerate neurons and myelin — the fatty material that protects nerve cells within the hippocampus, the memory centre of the brain.

The study shows that the same process could be applied to anti-ageing research, and that, "Experiments are even showing that young blood itself can reverse the ageing process, perhaps even curing Alzheimer’s disease."

Elitists and transhumanists have long been interested in harvesting material from young people in a bid to pursue life-extension.

Former North Korean dictator Kim Jong-il routinely had himself injected with blood taken from young, healthy virgins in the belief that it would help him live longer.

The Telegraph report notes that, "Harvesting the blood and body parts of the young in the hope of achieving immortality has long been a familiar trope in horror novels and conspiracy theories."

Apparently, not for much longer.

"It may only be a few years before "youth transplants" finally move from the pages of gothic horror novels into the clinic," writes Sarah Knapton.
Source is just as reliable as the DM.
That’s certainly one perspective. Have you considered setting up your own blog to share it with the world?

#4  :-) We all had to climb that learning curve, my dear Vespasian Ebboting9735. I made a point to check the reference links in the InfoWars article, and found them reasonably sound — the Telegraph, etc. Info Wars ranges between sensible and paranoid-nuts, which makes choosing articles from there more labour intensive.

Now, where did I hear this one before...

Nomad, in the 1920s they were keen on taking monkey gland extracts for the same rejuvenating purpose, and it has evolved from there.

Once again SCIFI beats Medicine to the punch or maybe gave it an R&D push.
