Wednesday is good for controversy.

How about buying time with a blood transfusion from young individuals

But just how much is good, and how much too little and how much too much.

So if you have money, will you be the early adopter in the bio-hack scenes, or will you be the laggard?

Seems there is no clear answer, is it?

The majority of tech-rich people are early adopters. It just fits their personal and business narrative. They will be the first to try something out. Test it, abuse it, if you will. But by the time the mainstream gets a hold of it, it may as well be gone from their regime.

And then we have the old money. They are not that much into new hype.

Unless The Last Hour is already knocking on the door. Then all bets are off usually. Anything goes. Especially if the individual has not yet come to terms with the fact that he will eventually die.

But this post is not about death. It is about longevity.

The obsession over the decades, millennia to live longer. To cheat death. To find the holy grail. To extend life. Even if just for a little bit.

To find that picture of Dorian Grey.

But hey, we might be closer than before. Now, all the knowledge (false and accurate) is at our disposal with the internet. Sooner or later (if not already), somebody will try systematically testing every fairytale folks' medicine that some claim to extend life. And then, we will see what the results are.

Lately, there has been a lot of talk that diabetes drugs actually prolong life. This, in turn, created a problem for people with diabetes because many people were buying the drugs they needed. Not wanted, needed.

So will it be the same with other stuff? Eventually, the producer will make more, of course. But who wouldn't want to put a heavy price tag on a drug that adds 5 years to your lifespan?

And we are back at money. Money can buy a lot of things. It can even leverage some time. But it can't (yet) buy you some more time on your own timeline.

I hope we won't end up like that movie "In-Time"?

Not controversial enough? How about buying time with a blood transfusion from young individuals? How about buying their organs? How about buying their bone marrow? How about purchasing a surrogate mother to grow you a (dumb) clone of yourself, only to harvest it for organs when it dies prematurely? But hey, it's just speculation and SciFi, right?
