Scientists claim blood transfusions can keep people perpetually youthful :
It's going to sound unbelievable but it allegedly possible that we can grow biologically younger and the key is in our blood, according to a scientist.
The biomedical gerontologist or an ageing expert says that one day, we won't die from old age or ill health -only as a result of road accidents, reports Daily Mail.
That's according to Briton Aubrey de Greay, who is chief science officer and co-founder of the SENS Research Foundation in Mountain View in California.
His company is one of an increasing number of Bay Area researchers pursuing the fountain of youth, focus on isolating a factor in blood to turn back the hands of time.
The idea is that giving the plasma of the young to the old could help to reverse the effects of ageing.
Researchers at Stanford University, led by neuroscientist Tony Wyss-Coray, showed in a 2014 study that infusions of blood from young mice reversed cognitive and neurological impairments in old rodents.
Now biotech start-ups are racing to replicate this in humans, to achieve what we only know in science -fiction movies; eternal youth and health.
''The risk of death will remain the risk of death from causes other than ageing -like by being hit by a truck,'' Dr de Frey told CBS.
He added : ''We don't know how soon we're going to defeat ageing. We should be able to keep people truly in a youthful state of health, no matter how long they live and that means the risk of death will not rise.
Plasma Transfusions are big hot property right now.''
