Does this mean donating blood reduces your lifespan?
- tr1ck5t3r 10y agoThe opposite. Having a blood transfusion from someone younger than you will increase longevity. https://www.theguardian.com/science/2014/may/04/young-blood-reverse-ageing-mice-studies https://www.theguardian.com/science/2014/may/04/young-blood-... So it pays to be a vampire!
- you_eeeeeediot 10y agoThat's not the opposite to the question asked.
- 1dKFpcxn 10y agoNot the opposite. As the receiver you gain, but as the donator you lose.
- kyriakos 10y agohow long before the rich start exploiting this?
- tudorw 10y agoOr how long have they been...
- Snowdax 10y agoI believe the term is vampires. That concept has been around for quite a long long time...
- mixedCase 10y agoHow do we know they haven't been doing it for hundred of years as a rich people blood ritual? :)
- mseebach 10y agoImagine the poor in possession of a self-replenishing resource that the rich might be interested in buying! But comfortable middle-class people might have reservations about the ethics of selling it!
- Ma8ee 10y agoI'm certain some extremely rich and powerful already do. Maybe that is how e.g. Robert Mugabe stays fit.
- tr1ck5t3r 10y agoIn a way some already are, considering whats involved. http://worldnewsdailyreport.com/david-rockefellers-sixth-heart-transplant-successful-at-age-99/ http://worldnewsdailyreport.com/david-rockefellers-sixth-hea...
- sokoloff 10y agoYou realize that worldnewsdaily is a fiction site, right?
- tr1ck5t3r 10y agoThats Google for you. Maybe this would be better? http://www.academia.edu/12568086/DAVID_ROCKEFELLER_S_SIXTH_HEART_TRANSPLANT_SUCCESSFUL_AT_AGE_99_He_hopes_to_live_up_to_200_years http://www.academia.edu/12568086/DAVID_ROCKEFELLER_S_SIXTH_H...
- gohrt 10y agoA copy of a fake is still a fake.
- mseebach 10y agoBut, surely, if it's a GitHub Gist, it's fine?
- liveoneggs 10y agoas long as it's served over ssl than it's probably true
- tr1ck5t3r 10y agoWho cares about ssl when your country's spooks are running their own modified Bind servers (dns) having hacked your ISP switches routing you net traffic to their own look-a-likey servers where you think you are buying an ssl cert from a CA, or you are downloading a distro like tails or ubuntu from their own servers. Hashes are useless if you have downloaded compromised software/distro/what have you from spook servers. Just hash the compromised software, the unthinking will see the hashes match but not realise what has been downloaded is already compromised. It pays to plan decades ahead.
- madengr 10y agoThe blood of infants no doubt. One female politician, in particular, probably gets daily transfusions from infants suspended upside down from IV stands. Sort of like the last Mad Max movie.
- gnoway 10y agoHow do blood transfusions actually work? I assumed it was a temporary thing to allow your own blood cell generation to make up for whatever you lost; that transfused blood would cycle out normally or actually eventually be rejected as foreign.
