xenotransplantation modified supercentenarian stem cells
sometimes they modify tissues (like porcine tissue) to be immunoneutral so it does better at transplantation. taking stem cells from supercentenairans, then making them immunoneutral to other humans, then tranplanting them could produce unusually long lived beneficial stem cell effects, possibly a longevity technology | |

a new longevity technology
there is another version of this, where using a naturally dead giant cetacen, like a blue whale (some of which have been published as having muticentury longevity) do tissue culture on the cetacean tissue, modify it to be immunoneutral (something like changing external liposachharides) then using those stem cells as multicentruy lifespan new human repair tissues

Wouldn't there be problems with telomere length ? lack thereof. |

Giant tortoises live a very long time - many centuries. |
|
| |
Then again, they live very dull lives. Maybe they have much shorter real lifespans, but they just seem very, very long from the tortoise's point of view. |
|
| |
So the obvious thing is to identify humans with significant amounts of tortoise DNA and extract it. Slow moving, cold-blooded, ponderous, low intelligence and with a thick protective shell ... the upper ranks of the civil service would be a rich hunting ground. |
