US tech millionaire Bryan Johnson, known for his extreme anti-aging methods, has publicly questioned whether his pursuit of longevity has become excessive. The 48-year-old entrepreneur made the admission on social media platform X on Wednesday, shortly after revealing his diagnosis with autoimmune gastritis, a chronic, incurable condition affecting the stomach lining.
This statement follows a recent claim by Johnson that he had cloned himself as a newborn to potentially harvest organs for rejuvenation, a concept he described as exploring "frontier of new paths" to reverse aging. "I just cloned myself…as a newborn," Johnson wrote on X approximately a week prior. "This may be scary to some people…a dystopian future."
Johnson, a California-based venture capitalist, has garnered significant attention for his extensive efforts to defy aging, reportedly spending around $10 million on longevity research and rigorous health monitoring. His regimen includes consuming supplements and undergoing experimental treatments, such as injecting himself with his son's blood plasma, a practice that led him to refer to his teenage son as his "blood boy."
The biohacker has also shared personal details on social media, including information about his wife's health and the presence of microplastics in his sperm. However, his recent autoimmune diagnosis appears to have prompted a reconsideration of his extreme approach to life extension.
