Young Blood May Hold Key to Reversing Aging

No, it certainly isn't, ;

Not with lit around anyway.

Come here my pretties...give an old lady a hug.

    Don't forget about me!  I need love too!

*sends in my army of cats*



This is why old women sparkle in the sunlight...it's really NOT body glitter in their lotion.

Would you like to join flanks with an old cow, little chicken? I'm nice and warm. 

Sure...wait- NOOOO!!!

This creates very possible foundations for a whole new reason for strife and division (the favorite hobbies of mankind!)

I can allready see camps of young people, "milked" for the purpose of the longevity for a select few, who will be needing repeated replenishing
maybe whole "castes" of "everliving" old people, living by the slavery of "cows" birthing their "medicine" at an industrial rate

mmmmmm, horror :9

I think I^2 should write a scifi play about this, complete with gruesome sets and dark music.

The implications of young blood for adults aren't the only thing to consider. Current medical practices might be doing a disservice to young people when administering blood, by not considering the age of the donor.

I told the doctors I'll only take the blood of babes.

I shall only accept the blood of virgins.

There won't be any requirement (sadly) for introducing infant-juicing stations with racks upon racks of automated child-presses.

The factor involved in reactivating stem cells has been identified and afaik sequenced,
What I would do isn't complex technology. Simply packaging the gene as a plasmid insert or for more stable permanent expression, appropriate transcription factors and promoter sequences package it into a retroviral vector which can transfect the cell line to be used and integrate its payload into the genome itself. Culture in bioreactors, harvest, purify, use.

That compound is definitely one I want to try cloning into a vector and expressing in a cultured cell line once I put together all the equipment I will need for genetic engineering at home. Sadly no need to build the baby pressing stations though

Exploring the physical chemistry though should be a blast, see what modifications improve its qualities, what superior analogs can be made etc.
