Als der russische Präsident Wladimir Putin im September 2025 Peking besuchte, sagte er dem chinesischen Staatschef Xi Jinping, dass wiederholte Organtransplantationen dazu führen könnten, dass ein Mensch „jünger wird“ und sogar 150 Jahre alt wird. Diese Bemerkung wurde weithin als Science-Fiction abgetan. Dennoch fiel es mit echtem wissenschaftlichen Fortschritt zusammen.

Hmm… but multiple major surgeries seem like they would have adverse effects long term.
do you not have to be on mediciation for the rest of your life to reduce the chances of rejection?
Telomeres would like to speak to him.
A transplant shortens life expectancy, unless it is to replace a failed organ. Even then, life expectancy is shorter than not having a failed organ. Transplant rejection drugs are some of the worst drugs around in terms of side-effects.
No, transplants do not de-age people.
and where is he getting these organs from?
technology is unfortunately far away from transplanting brains
People on powerful immunosuppression drugs whose body is slowly attacking itself are not going to live to 150.
For this to work, I think you either need to be cloned, and harvest the clone, or find a way to re-program your immune system.
The clone sounds easier (for dictators anyway) , but there’s a long lead time.
