When it comes to “technically induced” #centenarians, well some of the craziest attempts to reach immortality or eternal youth by humans have been so far the following:
The man who injected himself with extracts from the #testicles of guinea pigs and dogs,
The monks who #mummify themselves to death in the hopes of achieving immortality,
People who are being #cryogenically frozen after death, hoping one day that they will be properly unfreezed and revitalised,
#Qin Shi Huang who tried to become immortal by drinking mercury (Chinese alchemists spent centuries formulating elixirs of life with toxic mercury, gold, sulfur and plants; as a matter of fact the formula for gunpowder was originally an attempted elixir of immortality…),
#Gilgamesh, the tragic figure symbolizing man's vain but endless drive for fame, glory, and immortality,
The scientists who believe studying box #jellyfish (has incredible regenerative powers) is the key to immortality,
Strange people who drink a potion made with #menstrual#blood or use it as a face mask to stay young (menstrual blood-derived stem cells, MenSCs),
The famous blood countess #Bathory who did whatever necessary to get younger people's blood and then she bathed in their blood to retain her youth,
Rich people who are infusing themselves with the #blood of young people,
