'Hit by a bus': What 'biohacker' Bryan Johnson thinks will kill him

Bryan Johnson, a self-proclaimed 'biohacker' and Silicon Valley entrepreneur, continues his quest for immortality despite recent health challenges. At 49, Johnson claims to feel physically and mentally younger than his 30-year-old Australian girlfriend, Kate Tolo, who is joining him on his biohacking journey. The couple has faced skepticism, particularly regarding Johnson's claim of having 'cloned himself' as a newborn, which he clarifies was actually the creation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Johnson acknowledges the controversy surrounding his methods, including a multi-generational blood plasma exchange with his son and father, and admits to provoking debate online. He frames his work as part of a broader movement called 'Don't Die,' aiming to push boundaries in longevity research while emphasizing the importance of trust and credibility.
