Eccentric Tech Mogul Injects Himself With Teenage Son's Blood Plasma To Counter Aging

Bryan Johnson, a well-known eccentric tech mogul and biohacker, has taken a bold step in his quest for eternal youth by exchanging blood plasma with both his 70-year-old father, Richard, and 17-year-old son, Talmage. According to MailOnline, Johnson is notorious for investing millions of dollars annually in various medical procedures aimed at reversing the effects of aging and even received blood transfusions from an anonymous healthy donor.

The blood plasma, believed to contain rejuvenating properties, was subsequently injected into Johnson's veins in an attempt to repair cellular damage caused by aging by replacing old blood with fresh blood from younger donors.

World's First Multi-Generational Plasma Exchange

The 45-year-old tech mogul recently engaged in what seems to be the world's first multi-generational blood exchange involving his son and father, Bloomberg reported. The trio visited Resurgence Wellness, a futuristic medical spa in Texas, where Talmage had a liter of his blood drawn and separated into components. The extracted plasma was then reinfused into Bryan Johnson.

In a separate exchange, Bryan donated a liter of blood products to his father, without receiving any blood in return. The decision to pursue this unconventional procedure was seemingly agreed upon by all three family members, although the details of their discussion remain undisclosed.

While studies on rodents have suggested potential anti-aging effects when older animals share blood and organs with younger counterparts, these findings are not conclusive and have generated controversy.

However, the effectiveness of such exchanges in humans remains unproven, and experts previously told Insider to caution about potential risks, including immune reactions, associated with the practice.

Bloomberg reported that Bryan Johnson had previously sought blood plasma from an anonymous young donor whose health data had been screened. However, he later opted to obtain blood from his own son instead. The cost of the procedure, which typically involves compensating plasma donors with $100 in gift cards, was reported to be approximately $5,500.

Johnson's Project Blueprint

Johnson made his fortune with Braintree and now known for his extravagant attempts to combat aging, has once again made headlines with his latest anti-aging endeavor. Johnson's wealth and fame stem from his success as the founder of Braintree, a company that acquired Venmo and was later sold to PayPal.

As per Insider, this is not the first time he explored various unorthodox ideas of an anti-aging process. Currently, Johnson invests a minimum of two million dollars per year in his relentless pursuit of the fountain of youth. Dubbed "Project Blueprint," his latest venture focuses on reversing the aging process through a combination of strict dietary guidelines, regulated sleep and exercise routines, regular medical check-ups, and guidance from a 29-year-old doctor who recently completed medical school.

Adding to his repertoire of anti-aging measures, Johnson has now ventured into the realm of "young blood" infusions, a scientifically unproven practice not recommended by the FDA. As an American tech tycoon worth nearly half a billion dollars, he has become a prominent figure associated with extreme measures to ward off age-related decline.

Johnson and his medical team claim to have decreased his biological age by more than five years in just two years, with the heart of a 37-year-old, skin of a 28-year-old, and lung capacity and fitness of an 18-year-old. His objective is to have his brain, liver, kidneys, teeth, skin, hair, penis, and rectum work the same way they did when he was 18.
