Breeding the human organs.

All these efforts are part of a national longevity initiative he unveiled in 2024, which promises to save 175,000 lives by the end of the decade.

That's great.

Russian state scientists appointed by Putin have focused on two key areas, bioprinting, or 3D printing living tissue, and xenotransplantation, or growing human organs inside mini pigs.

What if the next longevity hack comes from the mosquito?

And we kill them all.

And it's like, oh, all you need to do is get a blood transfusion from a mosquito.

Yeah, the next GLP-1, potentially.

You've got to be careful about these knockout effects.

Who knows?

Well, I think the conspiracy theorists would say that some humans already discovered the mosquitoes' one simple trick.

Yeah?

What's that?

Drinking blood.

Oh, yeah.

Weird.

Russian scientists are working with government agencies to claim that they have bioprinted human cartilage tissue, that seems doable maybe, and a mouse thyroid gland with the aim of achieving human organ replacement by 2030.

They're trying to grow organs inside pigs.

And the Russian Federation work is underway on a whole range of scientific programs in this field.

These projects are supported by the state and many scientific and research institutions are taking part of them.
