Young blood transfusion refers to transfusing blood specifically from a young person into an older one with the intention of creating a health benefit. The efficacy and safety of young blood transfusions for anti-aging purposes remain a subject of debate in the scientific community, with limited clinical evidence in humans. There are also concerns of harm. While some preclinical studies on animals suggest potential benefits, there is a lack of robust clinical evidence to support its use in humans. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, in 2019, cautioned "consumers against receiving young donor plasma infusions" stating that they are an "unproven treatment".

Back a decade ago when I was having a carotid surgery done, the surgeon made the remark that he had a pint of young blood warmed up.

(19,829 posts)But with so many very wealthy older people this came to mind after I saw some tech articles about the blood transfusions.
I can not say if it works or not as they did not need any additional blood during my surgery.
But the very wealthy have been interested in anything that might let them live for longer or just stave off mental decline.
