Live Longer…By Consuming the Blood of the Young?!

Eat well, exercise often, minimize stress...die anyway.

Looking for a goth-er way to live longer? Researchers say to drink the blood of the youth!

Maybe not exactly in those terms, but DANG!

University College London went nuts and gave middle-aged folks blood from 'volunteers' (rrriiiiight) age 16-25. Can you guess what happened?

If you said, "They realized that this is just weird and could lead down a bloody, slippery slope to harvesting blood of the youth and we should stop before we even start this!"...you're wrong!

They went ahead with the 'study' and found that when older folk...consume? I don't know how they actually got the blood in their bodies *shudders*...were 'given' *shudders* blood from the younger 'volunteers,' the elders' health improved.

Closet vampire Geneticist Dame Linda Partridge said, "A lot of people regard ageing as 'natural' and that therefore you shouldn't interfere with nature. But we've always considered it an ethical imperative to cure illness where we find it."

Not weird at all.
