Can Science Extend Human Lifespans?

Recent claims by Putin and Xi about indefinite lifespan extension through organ transplants have sparked debate among scientists.

While organ transplantation saves lives for those with failing organs, its use for longevity in healthy individuals is highly questionable.

The procedure involves major surgery, powerful anti-rejection drugs, and carries risks of cancer, infection, and cardiovascular issues.

Current research focuses on xenotransplantation using pig organs and creating brainless bodies for organ donation, raising ethical concerns.
