Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin have been overheard discussing organ transplants as a means of prolonging life on the sidelines of a military parade in Beijing.

Putin suggested even eternal life could be achievable as a result of innovations in biotechnology, according to a translation of remarks caught on a hot mic.

The exchange was relayed by a Mandarin translator for Putin and a Russian translator for Xi, and has been translated into English by the BBC.

"In the past, it used to be rare for someone to be older than 70 and these days they say that at 70 one's still a child," Xi's translator could be heard saying in Russian.

An inaudible passage from Putin follows. His Mandarin translator then added: "With the development of biotechnology, human organs can be continuously transplanted, and people can live younger and younger, and even achieve immortality."

Xi's translator then said: "Predictions are, this century, there's a chance of also living to 150 [years old]."

Putin reportedly reprised his remarks later while speaking to Russian media. Russian state news agency Tass quoted him as saying: "Modern recovery methods, medical methods, even surgical ones dealing with the replacement of organs, enable humanity to hope for active life to last longer than it does today.

He’s coming for our innards!

Ghouls.

They both know they are going to hell.

The end result of Socialism - harvest the organs of political prisoners to allow the party elite to live and rule in luxury to 150 years old. That sounds like some Woke dystopian fantasy of how Capitalism works but its Socialism that will put it into practice.

2 old fools , Grumpy Old Men want to harvest their citizen’s organs

[GOPJ]

Political prisoners in hellholes are often “harvested”... hope that’s NOT what they’re talking about...

[Tell It Right]

[Texas Eagle]

China has been harvesting organs from prisoners for decades. And they don’t wait for them to die first.

Meanwhile, in the real world:

“President Vladimir Putin has said Russia will achieve all its objectives by force if Ukraine does not agree to a deal.

“It seems to me that if common sense prevails, it will be possible to agree on an acceptable solution to end this conflict,” Putin said. “If not, then we will have to resolve all our tasks militarily.”

He praised the “sincere desire” by Donald Trump to find a solution – a day after the US president said he was “disappointed” in Putin, following Russia’s attacks in Ukraine since their Alaska summit.

Trump has tried to persuade Putin to meet Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky, but the Russian leader has not agreed to do so.

Putin:

“I have never ruled out the possibility of such a meeting. But is there any point?

He added that any such meeting required preparation in advance to yield results, and that Zelensky could always go to Moscow to see him – a “knowingly unacceptable” idea, as Ukraine’s foreign minister was quick to point out.”

or the secret to George Soros’ longevity…

[marcusmaximus]

Your Putin is a ghoul.

[arthurus]

Often, atheists worry about these things. With the Uyghurs and Falun Gong as large reservoirs of organs, especially of vhildren’s organs they will try it out. Perhaps they are already trying it. Maybethey understand that copying themselves into databanks might produce the spitting image of themselves but there will be no consciousness there.

[pepsi_junkie]

If only Xi had a steady source of organs to harvest ...

Oh wait. Right, he solved that one a while ago.

or the secret to George Soros’ longevity…

Sometimes a person is just too evil to die. It's the hate that keeps them alive.

[Waverunner]

To Putin and Xi the real thrill is the brain transplant.

human organs can be continuously transplanted

He’s your Putin, not mine.

Baron Karza promised immortality:

"Once in power, Karza created the Body Banks, allowing him to harvest limbs and organs to prolong the lifespan of anyone willing to pay."

"Apparently, it wasn’t by accident that last year [Ukrainian President Vladimir] Zelensky signed a law on transplantation providing for the transplantation of human organs without consent," Nikolay Patrushev noted

PETROZAVODSK, July 31. . The Kiev regime is using its wounded troops as a biological material, covertly harvesting their organs for transplantation, Russian Security Council Secretary Nikolay Patrushev said.

"Not only are Ukrainians being deployed in so-called slaughterhouse assaults, resulting in enormous losses, but, according to information received, wounded Ukrainian troops are also being used as a biological material, their organs being clandestinely removed for transplantation," Patrushev said at a meeting on Karelia’s security issues.

"Apparently, it wasn’t by accident that last year [Ukrainian President Vladimir] Zelensky signed a law on transplantation providing for the transplantation of human organs without consent," the top security official added.
