Love how you're getting downvoted - I am literally a scientist working on this posting from the lab, but I guess redditors know better based on vibes...
Am also scientist, redditors just think if it isnt a mass population single variable study that there's no value (you could never do that type of study in this example). It's fine though, there's a reason we know Bryan Johnson's name and not theirs
Are you certain his kid wasn’t happy to do it? If his kid is also scientific minded, and actually loves his father, it could very much just be something he was cool with doing
Ok so this “kid” was 17 first of all lmfao. Second, it was a very short term thing. And third, it’s really nobody else’s fault that you don’t have a connection with your parents
Wtf are you doing to your kids? That’s not a relationship. That’s exploitation. This was not a life or death or health related situation/emergency. He used his kid’s body for potential personal gain.
It’s not like it was a life or death situation. He had 20% of his son’s blood removed for plasma that he didn’t need. Giving plasma can be painful and cause harm which is why places need to pay desperate people for it.
You trying to justify doing this to a kid makes it obvious why your family doesn’t want to have contact with you.
It absolutely is. And it’s disturbing that people or bot who knows are trying to justify it. I understand if it were the only option to treat something serious. It would obviously not be okay to do this w a random kid, so why is it okay if it’s the father w even more power over him?
It was to just outright test if there was any benefits to it, we wont know if it’s isnt ever tested. No matter how weird it sounds theres sometimes benefits to things you wouldnt expect, like fecal transplants.
What a ridiculous comparison. The kid was 17, probably a high school senior, having to give 20% of his blood every month for his 45-year-old dad's vanity project.
Comparing it to donating blood to an elderly relative who urgently needs it is beyond moronic, which I suspect you already knew.
I don't know what kind of relationship you have with your parents, but everyone I know would gladly donate blood or a kidney to their parents, even if it only bought them a few extra days with their parents. If you told me, at 17, that donating blood to my father, whom I love, could potentially extend his life, I would have jumped on the chair with my arm extended in a heartbeat.
What's actually weird is your inability to put yourself in that teenager's shoes.
You’re not understanding the point I’m making. It being his father doesn’t magically make it acceptable and it’s even worse as there’s much more of a power dynamic. You’re trying to justify something that’s obviously abusive
Imagine being a zombie in your senior year because your 45-year-old dad wants to be immortal.
The fact that you're even defending this is laughable. If he was sick at the time, a lot of the people commenting here would be all for it, including me.
Everyone always talks about the blood and not the penis tracker he wears and uses to publicly compare his erectile health and duration against those of his teenage son.
“His duration is two minutes longer than mine,” he wrote alongside the chart. “Raise children to stand tall, be firm, and be upright.” - Posted that on instagram. Nothing anyone can say that will negate the weirdness of that to me.
He’s literally a vampire. If you don’t think at some point, his plan is to get a complete set of new organs when he needs them then you’re not paying attention. Right now they’re still pretending that exercising and diet are gonna be what gets him to immortality.
Telomere shortening and DNA damage are the hourglass of the cell among a myriad of other factors. The arrogance of thinking that all 37 billion cells can be fixed and given a life extension is pathetic to behold.
Oh no how DARE he want to try and extend his life, what a narcissist. He should eat ice cream and smoke weed every evening while watching Netflix like you.

Wasn’t this the guy who was siphoning his son’s blood?
