Parabiosis refers to the transfusing of\u00a0blood from\u00a0one subject to another literally combining the circulatory systems of two animals. Some scientific\u00a0studies have shown reported health and longevity\u00a0benefits to older mice if paired with younger mice.\u00a0This\u00a0came into the mainstream view\u00a0with headlines\u00a0about tech billionaires injecting young people\u2019s blood for life extension. While adherents of this practice claim to get blood from legal means, we shall examine the science and legality of that\u00a0proposal.\u00a0This is in no way inferring that\u00a0any particular person is violating the law.<\/p>\n

Like the top of an iceberg sticking above the water, this is instructive of what may lie beneath or ahead. Many articles detail the very wealthy\u2019s\u00a0interest in\u00a0the process of transfusing the blood of the young for\u00a0its rejuvenating properties. The ghoulish concept was calmly reported and widely lampooned in the media with no serious look at what it really means. While the use of the blood of the young by the elite\u00a0is nothing new in history, this takes matters to a new\u00a0industrial level.<\/p>\n

Any of the recent\u00a0articles on the subject are carbon copies of each other, all referencing the same report in the journal\u00a0Nature<\/a>. Mentioning only the\u00a0same part of the report entitled Ageing Research: Blood to blood\u00a0<\/strong>and not considering the deeper implications.<\/p>\n

In the past few years, however, a small number of labs have revived parabiosis, especially in the field of ageing research. By joining the circulatory system of an old mouse to that of a young mouse, scientists have produced some remarkable results. In the heart, brain, muscles and almost every other tissue examined, the blood of young mice seems to bring new life to ageing organs, making old mice stronger, smarter and healthier. It even makes their fur shinier. Now these labs have begun to identify the components of young blood that are responsible for these changes. And last September, a clinical trial in California became the first to start testing the benefits of young blood in older people with Alzheimer\u2019s disease.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Keep in mind that very rich and powerful people throughout history have\u00a0always exploited target populations for their resources. This leads to two primary questions:<\/p>\n

How young is the blood needed for the\u00a0effects?<\/strong><\/p>\n

How is this blood obtained<\/strong>?<\/strong><\/p>\n

About the first question, again quoting from the same article in the journal Nature<\/a> just a few paragraphs down.\u00a0\u00a0 This part\u00a0was conveniently left out of the mainstream pieces.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Clive McCay, a biochemist and gerontologist at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, was the first to apply parabiosis to the study of ageing. In 1956, his team joined 69 pairs of rats, almost all of differing ages3<\/a><\/sup>. The linked rats included a 1.5-month-old paired with a 16-month-old \u2014 the equivalent of pairing a 5-year-old human with a 47-year-old. It was not a pretty experiment.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The very young<\/strong> were paired\u00a0with the old. Not sort of young like an 18-year-old, really young like a 5-year-old<\/strong>!! With humans pairing the equivalent of an 18-year-old\u00a0with a 47-year-old might<\/strong> be acceptable.\u00a0Whereas pairing a 47-year-old with a\u00a05-year-old is definitely not. All of this is certainly not good for the young host as it is sucked dry of its vitality. The younger the host the more vitality there is to be had.<\/p>\n

In McCay\u2019s first parabiotic ageing experiment, after old and young rats were joined for 9\u201318 months, the older animals\u2019 bones became similar in weight and density to the bones of their younger counterparts5<\/a><\/sup>. More than 15 years later, in 1972, two researchers at the University of California studied the lifespans of old\u2013young rat pairs. Older partners lived for four to five months longer than controls, suggesting for the first time that circulation of young blood might affect longevity6<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

McCay\u2019s experiments<\/a>\u00a0were originally funded by the Rockefeller Foundation<\/strong>. Scroll down the sample page and note the study was done with grants\u00a0from the Office of Naval Research<\/strong> in\u00a0conjunction with none other than the Rockefeller Foundation<\/strong>. It seems\u00a0this organization has it\u2019s fingers in every little pie.<\/p>\n

Which leads us to next question. Where would such young blood be obtained? Some small clinical trials can get it through blood banks with specific permission. Certainly not from legal methods for longevity reasons. The minimum<\/strong>\u00a0age to donate blood nationally is\u00a017 years old<\/strong>, and the person must also\u00a0be at least 110lbs<\/strong>. Even if the blood does come from\u00a0a consenting adult, it is still not legal to purchase it as a health aid like Asper Cream!\u00a0There are blood drives all over the country every day because the\u00a0Red Cross is low on donations. \u00a0So where is this blood coming from?<\/strong><\/p>\n
