In short:

A live-stream broadcast of China’s military parade has captured Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin discussing biotechnology’s potential to extend life.

An interpreter translating Mr Putin can be heard saying in Mandarin that human organ transplants could let “us live younger and younger, and perhaps even achieve immortality”.

Mr Xi responded that it may be possible for people to live to 150 years this century.

    And then what, that’s even LESS likely to work out compared to 3D orinted organs or animal organs that have been gene edited. That’s what I’m saying, this is a pipe dream, they cannot harvest/transplant MULTIPLE organs with random people’s genes in them, place them in someone’s body and have it work out like replacing car parts. Multiple organ transplants like that are just not really done because of how many variables and issues come from each transplant. They can try to Frankenstein themselves as much as they want, but like all fascist delusional “science,” it is genuinely idiotic and done stupidly and badly.

      Well, you suggested to let them do it. I’m suggesting that they will not hesitate to commit massive human rights violating, nonconsensual nazi experiments, so no we shouldn’t allow them.

      The fact that it absolutely won’t work is secondary.

        I’m not granting permission, I’m saying if we follow their logic and methods to its natural conclusions, they will die, eg giving a proof.

        They cannot use other human organs, this is already a roadblock for them. If they could, they already would be doing so (see blood transfusions). I was talking about 3D printed organs, not organs from others.

        You brought up organs from others. I then explained it is even MORE of an issue to attempt to transplant (hence why we developed other means). Your refusal to understand that does not mean you are correct that they will do this. You’re in fact wrong.

        However, perhaps they want to eat these organs instead of transplant them, I’m not saying they won’t go after human bodies for various reasons, and obviously all genocide should be stopped.

        But they aren’t going to do multiple organ transplants from other human to human donors in our lifetimes, if ever. If you understood transplants, you’d understand why that just isn’t a thing and won’t be a thing.

        It’s as stupid as head transplants and Neuralink.
