The opposite.

Having a blood transfusion from someone younger than you will increase longevity.

So it pays to be a vampire!

Not the opposite. As the receiver you gain, but as the donator you lose.

how long before the rich start exploiting this?

Or how long have they been...

I believe the term is vampires. That concept has been around for quite a long long time...

How do we know they haven't been doing it for hundred of years as a rich people blood ritual? :)

Imagine the poor in possession of a self-replenishing resource that the rich might be interested in buying! But comfortable middle-class people might have reservations about the ethics of selling it!

I'm certain some extremely rich and powerful already do. Maybe that is how e.g. Robert Mugabe stays fit.

In a way some already are, considering whats involved.

You realize that worldnewsdaily is a fiction site, right?

Thats Google for you.

A copy of a fake is still a fake.

But, surely, if it's a GitHub Gist, it's fine?

as long as it's served over ssl than it's probably true

Who cares about ssl when your country's spooks are running their own modified Bind servers (dns) having hacked your ISP switches routing you net traffic to their own look-a-likey servers where you think you are buying an ssl cert from a CA, or you are downloading a distro like tails or ubuntu from their own servers.

Hashes are useless if you have downloaded compromised software/distro/what have you from spook servers. Just hash the compromised software, the unthinking will see the hashes match but not realise what has been downloaded is already compromised.

It pays to plan decades ahead.

How do blood transfusions actually work? I assumed it was a temporary thing to allow your own blood cell generation to make up for whatever you lost; that transfused blood would cycle out normally or actually eventually be rejected as foreign.
