Taking a young person's plasma and infusing it into an older person to ward off aging -- a therapy that's fascinated some of the biggest names in Silicon Valley -- has no proven clinical benefit, the Food and Drug Administration said.
The agency issued a safety alert on Tuesday about the infusion of plasma from young donors for the prevention of conditions such as aging or memory loss, or for the treatment of such conditions as dementia, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, heart disease or postātraumatic stress disorder.
"There is no proven clinical benefit of infusion of plasma from young donors to cure, mitigate, treat or prevent these conditions, and there are risks associated with the use of any plasma product," the FDA said in a statement from Commissioner Scott Gottlieb and Peter Marks, head of the agency's biologics center.

What I believe is that you just made a large non sequitur argument. Rational agent theories are irrelevant to the topic. Nor do I believe that we have to be more stupid than we are just because somewhere in the world there are stupid people who made stupid choices.
That just means it's not important to you. Funny how things become oh so important when other peoples money can be spent on it instead.
I'll need a lot of funding before I'll buy that argument (or rather before you sell that argument).
I get that you just want to babble like so many other people on SN. But it would be nice, if when you criticized someone, even a straw man, you didn't become even dumber than the target you criticized. At least, they have a reason with some bit of intellectual basis (the "pay those damn'd leftie" pseudorant), even if it was a terrible reason.

That argument is not for sale. I may make an exception for your case and let you use it occasionally, for a small recurring membership fee.
Over and out!
