Xi and Putin Discuss Immortality in Off-the-Record Conversation
In a remarkable conversation during a military parade in Beijing to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, Chinese leader Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir V. Putin discussed the possibility of humans living to 150 years old.
The conversation, which was broadcast live by Chinese state news media, sheds light on how medical advances are intersecting with geopolitics. Mr. Putin, who is 72 like Mr. Xi, expressed hope that life expectancy will grow significantly due to modern health methods, including organ transplants. He even suggested that organ transplants could lead to human "immortality."
Rosatom, a major Russian state company, is reportedly developing technology to "print" human organs. This development, a recent revelation according to previous reports, is part of the Russian government's active pursuit of technological advancements in the field of organ transplants and longevity.
Mr. Putin's comments about longevity and organ transplants were previously reported, and he reiterated them during the parade to a reporter. He also confirmed that he has a personal interest in longevity and has tasked the Russian health ministry with increasing life expectancy as a key priority.
The Russian health ministry is actively working towards this goal, as per Mr. Putin's task. However, there are no publicly available search results detailing current research by the Russian government on organ printing technology or its potential effects on human lifespan.
Meanwhile, Mr. Xi Jinping also expressed the possibility of humans living to 150, but no further details were provided. This is not the first time Mr. Putin's comments about longevity have been reported, and it remains to be seen how these discussions will shape the future of medical research and human lifespan.
The conversation between the two leaders about living forever is a fascinating development in the ongoing dialogue between China and Russia, and it underscores the importance of medical advancements in shaping global politics. As these technologies continue to evolve, it will be interesting to see how they impact human life and society.
