Russia’s Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping have been overheard discussing the use of organ transplants to achieve immortality during a military parade in Beijing
So they might be pleased to hear that Cambridge University is developing Digital Twins – ‘A human digital twin is a computer model that is a virtual replica of an individual’s biology – their DNA, molecules, cells, organs, circulatory processes, immunology and so on. Although digital twins of this completeness, complexity and individuality don’t yet exist, many believe the technology is the next frontier of medicine.’
With the development of biotechnology, human organs can be continuously transplanted, and people can live younger and younger, and even achieve immortality – Putin
Wouldn’t it be helpful for our leaders and elites seeking immortality to have the NHS or an elite UK university mapping potential organ donors via digital twins? A whole data set of potential matches.
what Larry [Ellison of Oracle] really wants is the UK’s NHS data, which – on account of the UK’s unique unitary public health system – is a uniquely rich set of heath data on 60 million people that stretches back nearly 80 years -Alistair Alexander
– that ‘data’ is the personal human information of our UK fellow citizens, our family members, our friends, the most intimate, private and deeply personal. Why?
Interesting that in this recent Guardian article To them, ageing is a technical problem that can, and will, be fixed’: how the rich and powerful plan to live for ever by Aleks Krotoski there is no mention of claims of organ harvesting in China. Or Peter Thiel’s potential influence in the NHS via his corporation Palantir. Or that Larry Ellison is believed to really really want NHS data going back 80 years? Why? However she does comment on the situation in the US
The cost of giving so much to the technofundamentalist dream of AI immortality has been that resources have been allocated away from initiatives that support people who are getting older today. The [Trump] administration proposed cuts of hundreds of billions of dollars to Medicare – the social support network for healthcare for millions of US citizens over the age of 65 – and cancelled the White House Conference on Ageing, a flagship event held every 10 years since 1961 to determine the strategic direction for policy to support older Americans. – Krotoski
Are we (the UK) the Sovereign nation mentioned in the article – that is being restructured to fulfil the immortality fantasies of billionaires and autocrats like Thiel, Ellison, Xi and Putin?
Then there are the immortalists who want to reconstruct the infrastructure of the world we live in so that they can live for ever. Already, and in plain sight, they are restructuring sovereign nation states, pushing an agenda of technological acceleration at any cost. – Krotoski
And if this is starting to make you think of the dystopian film ‘Never let me go’ written by Kazuo Ishiguroin in Oxford about donor children being organ harvested when they’ve reached maturity…or the Chinese minority Uighur’s claim that they are being organ harvested in China……or that Peter Thiel wants to live forever via biological transhumanism and has his Palantir digital finger right in the NHS data pie…or the NHS plan to DNA test every child born in a NHS hospital..,,
