Putin's translator mentioned repeated organ transplants could make one younger, possibly living to 150 years. While organ transplants save lives, with over 100,000 saved in the UK in 30 years, living to 150 remains uncertain. Transplanted organs last longer now, but surgery risks and anti-rejection drugs pose challenges. Scientists are exploring rejection-free organs from genetically-altered pigs and growing organs using human stem cells. However, experts like Prof Neil Mabbott suggest 125 years might be the upper limit for human lifespan, emphasizing healthy years lived over extended lifespan.
