"Stopping Aging"... Businessman Who Transfused Son's Blood Declares Experiment Halt

"No Significant Effect Observed" Poet
Experiment on Anti-Aging by Injecting Young Plasma
Effective in Animal Tests... Unknown for Humans

A businessman in his 40s who even received a blood transfusion from his 17-year-old son to regain his body's youth suddenly announced that he would stop the experiment.

According to foreign media reports including the New York Post on the 13th (local time), American IT entrepreneur Brian Johnson (45) recently stated, "I transfused young people's plasma but gained no benefits," and announced that he would stop the transfusion experiment.

To reverse the aging of his body, he had been receiving plasma donations from young people once a month for the past six months and injecting it into his body.

Previously, Johnson received multiple plasma donations from anonymous donors and even received a 1-liter (ℓ) blood transfusion from his 17-year-old son Telmaze Johnson. However, despite these efforts, Johnson appears not to have returned to a youthful body.

Johnson recently uploaded a video titled "Will My Son's Blood Make Me Younger?" on his YouTube channel. According to this video, Johnson took his biological son Telmaze to a medical facility in Dallas, Texas, in April.

There, Telmaze lay on a bed for several hours while 1ℓ of blood was drawn. This 'plasma donation' was conducted over three generations. The plasma separated from Telmaze's blood was injected into his father Brian Johnson, and Brian's blood was then injected into his 70-year-old biological father Richard in turn.

Johnson's obsession with plasma transfusion stems from a research finding. In 1972, a research team at the University of California announced that transferring blood from young mice to old mice extended their lifespan.

Also, in 2005, a research team led by Thomas Rando at Stanford University revealed that injecting young mice's blood into old mice regenerated their liver and skeleton.

However, these experiments were all animal studies. There are currently no research results on plasma experiments conducted on humans, and some experts warn that injecting another person's plasma into the human body prematurely could cause serious side effects.

Brian also admitted, "Transfusing young plasma may biologically help elderly populations or under certain conditions," but added, "In my case, no additional benefits beyond existing anti-aging attempts were found, and I did not see any particular effects."

Meanwhile, Brian Johnson is the founder of the online payment platform startup 'Braintree,' and he became a billionaire by selling the company he founded to the major U.S. trading platform 'eBay' for $800 million (about 1.01 trillion KRW).

Currently, Brian's main interest is anti-aging and reversing bodily aging. He is experimenting on himself and consulting experts to find various medical 'anti-aging treatments,' including diet, sleep, and exercise.
