Taking a young person’s blood plasma and infusing it into an older person to ward off aging — a therapy that’s fascinated some of the biggest names in Silicon Valley — has no proven clinical benefit, says the FDA.

Sounds like a guy trying to keep all the young plasma for himself

skennison 2019’s wild

Damn! There goes my strategy!

You have to bathe in it

Increased risk of exposure to pathogens & possible reactions to antigens. Every transfusion would be a roll of the dice

the ageing process begins with the first time you poop to the last time!! breathing helps

It's all about sending a message

Wtf This shit is straight from the dark ages of history.

Literally vampires

Someone’s been watching reruns of “the Immortal”!

It doesn’t work. I received plasma from a young man and sat around all day playing video games.

Yikes

Leave it to the techno-villains of Silicon Valley to even think this was a good idea.

stopasec This is based on an mouse study, where old, debilitated mice received blood infusions from young mice and it reversed signs of aging. It was the stem cells in from the young mice that reversed aging. The FDA should allow limited human research or take the research overseas.

HOLY SHIT ITS LIKE AN EPISODE OF TRUE BLOOD!!! THE GOOD VAMPIRES DRANK BLOOD DONATED WHILE BAD VAMPIRES KILLED PEOPLE FOR IT! 🤔

1ml?

Oh contraire. It makes the young person weak, and the old one more likely to win a foot race between the two.

Ok but realoverheardla WYA

a very old approach

Aww, shucks. Whaddaya mean it doesn't work? I was just heading towards an elementary school with a bag of candy.

Vampires are real

Not he headline I was expecting.

No shit.

It saddens me that someone needed to do a study to understand that this wouldn't work.

Take THAT Countess Elizabeth Báthory de Ecsed!

But it works in witch movies.
