No it isn't. All this microphone leak tells us is that these leaders are very far away from reality.

Put yourself through traumatic surgery and then load yourself up with immune suppressants in a world that's gonna develop more and more pandemics.

...do it. Do it do it do it.

“Drink the blood of children and live forever!!!!!”

Organ transplants can’t stop these

collapsed inline media

Sure, cuz old sick people bounce right back easily from complex major surgeries like transplants.

yeah this isn't WH 40K. You can't make a "Primaris Putin" and "continuous organ transplants" are only going to top you out at a few extra years, maybe, unless this fucker has somehow struck a deal with Nurgle or Khorne or some other Warp entity.

Now if his flesh starts bubbling and his intestines are suddenly on the outside of his body and he grows a maw on his shoulder? yeah then I'd start worrying.

Start with the brain

So in other words, "immortality" until the brain cancer is inoperable.

Seems deeply unlikely to work. The body only has so much capacity to heal from surgery, and that capacity diminishes with age, so eventually your surgeries would become too close together and you wouldn't ever fully heal. At that point you might end up happier as a brain in a jar.

I hope he gets a brain transplant soon. He really needs one.

May the pursuit of immortality go as well for him as it did for Qin Shi Huang.

I fully support Putin's desire to live forever. Let's encourage him and all other billionaires to start with a young brain transplant.

In Russia, heart surgeon, #1!

If it does happen, it’s only going to be for the absolute worst people in the world…fortunately, they still won’t be immune to guillotines.

Continuously?

"Liver is in, Bob, go fetch the next one. I'll take this one out."

Biological or effective immortality would be the worst fucking technology for humans to discover right now.

It won't help Putin. Organs don't help when you are falling out of a window

He should start immediately... Triple heart bypass!

In Rome, during a triumph, the celebrated general would have a slave required to remind him that he would one day die.

These globe striding tyrants need this now, but one guy reminding them during their parties simply isn't enough. Every moment of their lives should feature that reminder. Like tinnitus but "Memento Mori" (or its equivalent in their native tongue).

1. No.

2. When it does the tech will be controlled by, horded by, and available only to the ultra-wealthy, which should come as a surprise to no one.

Can't help but think that people who want to keep themselves alive forever have fundamentally missed the point.

I would like both of them to get brain transplants and see if they survive

I swear, this time we really have found the fountain of youth!

Let us agree now: If 50% of your organs were transplanted within the past 18 years that is not a loophole that exempts you from anti pedophelia laws.

How long before I can sell my organ futures?

can't wait until he goes to hell.

Nice little SF adventure. In the future, you can buy immortality in decade segments. The Foundation that controls the lifesaving process demands the wealthy sign over all their assets [at least $100 million] for ten years of youthful vigor. A few finance geniuses have managed to stay alive for a century or more...

Nothing a few bullets can't fix.
