Tech Billionaire Peter Thiel Transfuses Young Blood To Avoid Aging, Getting Old

It seems tech billionaire, Peter Thiel, never wants to get old. The 48-year old Silicon Valley entrepreneur is intensely interested in extending his life span by getting blood transfusion from younger people in order to reverse the ageing process.

In fact, Theil has already invested millions of dollars into anti-aging startups and therapies. He also spends a lot of time and money researching for age reversing therapies for his personal use. Thiel revealed on Bloomberg TV in 2014 that he was taking human growth hormone pills to extend his life to 120 years, reported Vanity Fair. He said that taking human growth hormone pills helps maintain muscle mass and lessens the risk of getting bone injuries, arthritis. The venture capitalist has argued that all people should join him in finding life-extension methods.

In an interview with Jeff Bercovici of Inc. magazine, Theil had confessed that he's interested in parabiosis, the practice of getting transfusions of blood from a younger person. He said that he feels parabiosis is indeed a great way to improve health and potentially reverse aging.

"I'm looking into parabiosis stuff, which I think is really interesting. This is where they did the young blood into older mice and they found that had a massive rejuvenating effect," Thiel told Bercovici. "And so that's... that is one that... again, it's one of these very odd things where people had done these studies in the 1950s and then it got dropped altogether. I think there are a lot of these things that have been strangely under-explored."

It is still unknown if the tech billionaire is already undergoing parabiosis and injected himself with young blood. According to Medical Daily, a California-based company called Ambrosia has already started a trial involving humans. In the trial, healthy individuals aged 35 or older will receive transfusions from young blood donors aged 25 or less.
