Original comments from OP before website editor deleted them:

The search for the elixir of life, embraced with gusto in recent years by American tech oligarchs like Peter Thiel and Larry Ellison, has been underway in China for more than two millenniums. It started with the first emperor, Qin Shi Huang, who ordered a nationwide hunt for death-defying potions. Centuries ago Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) was much more advanced than Western medicine which practiced blood-letting or thought evil spirits caused ailments. TCM considered blood transfusions as a treatment for psoriasis. In the modern era, China has been harvesting organs from executed prisoners. Source: Organ Harvesting in China.

The late Dick Cheney extended his life with an organ transplant and he was reputed to have "jumped the line" ahead of other patients.
