Human young blood perfusions have potent rejuvenating properties. Is there scientific evidence that eating human flesh/organs would provide additional benefits over raw blood?

Spoiler: there are probably many benefits, see e.g the cognitive benefits that give cerebrolysin, not hard to extrapolate from this and there must exists some human only Peptides. I recall that women's milk has a special unique substance that is neurotrophic, criminally it is not synthetically adjuvenated in cow's milk.

Of course I'm not advocating you to eat me but making artificial babies without brains might be not science fiction. It highly relate with the urgent need of being able to replace animal breeding with philosophical zombies.

With a blood transfusion, the "better" qualities of the blood would largely remain as it gets treated like all the other blood in the body. When eating young flesh, it gets the same treatment as any other random piece of meat. It'd need to be vastly superior to something like pork to even be worth considering, and it just isn't.

The real parallel with transfusions would be growing organs for transplant, something that is researched.

Plus, I think "young blood transfusions" are largely snake oil.

According to your mind

But yes obviously eating human meat is probably not very potent. However doing human peptide extracts out of human meat (or out of human blood, urine, milk) like we already successfully do for cerebrolysin with cattle brain extracts could yield revolutionary health or nootropic results. Indeed again, I am not advocating for immoralism.

> think "young blood transfusions" are largely snake oil. I have extensive erudition in pharmacology and gerontology and young blood has m a n y explanative factors that make it a very promising therapeutic.

Wow an answer by Don Hopkins himself! BTW your meme is hilarious, makes me want to watch SV again! But seriously, longevity and improving healthspan is a real achieavable goal, see e.g this benign 410% reduction in all cause mortality. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12577695/ The only thing it lacks is communication and maybe people like you could have some meaningful impact or at least try to.
