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.
Can you imagine the suffering of being an organ donor clone of one of these dictators? That’s some scifi level of hell.
There’s a fictional movie about it.
Honestly kind of idyllic. The premise of living in a childish Utopia until you’ve “won the lottery” seems far more generous on its face than the slaughterhouse conditions most domesticated animals endure.

This is another take on the concept, really compelling read.
