Perhaps UberEats can pivot to UberBlood? Fresh young blood of the right type on demand via app. Blood boys can be regular Uber drivers when blood demand is low. You're welcome Uber.
Genius!

No one is using ketamine to cure depression, but some doctors and some "body hacker" types are using it to treat depression with mixed success. For now, it seems to be most useful as a rapid-onset suicide prevention treatment.
For what it's worth, my experience is that almost all ketamine use I know of personally erased that person's depression for a week or so. I think it's less uncommon more and more.
While I'm certainly not implying you are referring to yourself, this reminded me of "swim", a delightful euphemism used by drug users online, for obvious reasons.

#34This is not going to end well. Human trafficking is already a seriously bad condition in most societies - with this kind of science, I doubt that the black/grey markets are going to ignore the fact that there are very, very wealthy people out there, willing to pay for a little youth or two.
This really speaks to the ethics of science, and technological morality. The world simply isn't ready for some of these major advances in human life sciences. If, in ten years time, we see the underbelly of human experience exposed as rows and rows of coppertops, pumping vital energy into the matrix, I won't be at all surprised. I hope my kids don't have to live in that world, though.

#35Side note: Speaking as a male blood donor, donating blood has benefits for the donor as well. Particularly because we're not regularly performing blood regeneration, there's a number of benefits related to it. And that pint is fresh, new stuff. :)
Is there any research that confirms this. I ask because I hear it everywhere. But it feels too convineant an excuse to make people give blood :) (voluntarity in most cases)
I've always wondered if it's a viable wight loss technique. There must be a certain amount of energy that goes into blood production. And losing wight by sitting still for a while is the holy grail.
Market it right and the billionaires might even be able to charge us to give them blood.

#36I'm excited to see capitalists and oligarchs become literal blood suckers. Reminds me of the blood boy sketch in Silicon Valley.
Not literal, but google Clinton Arkansas prison blood scandal. People are literally getting rich off convicts' blood.

That was based on real events though, aren't Silicon Valley people also using Ketamine to cure depression?
There's all sorts of lore about constructive drug use in Silicon Valley start up culture but it's not as prevalent as people say it is I've never seen anyone microdose LSD or take Ketamine for Depression, hell, most of my coworkers don't even smoke marijuana recreationally or otherwise. It's just that weird drug use makes headlines and headlines makes money
FWIW Silicon Valley != San Francisco. When I worked in SF I'd say about half of my coworkers (the ones just out of college) all smoked weed frequently, took pyschedelics infrequently, and used stimulants on occasion.

that is until the market is opened up and regulated. with so many young people around realizing that a thing they constantly produce for free is worth something - there will be no incentive to go through the criminal path. also worth mentioning that this could positively impact young population health as there is now clear monetary incentive to keep your blood healthy.
it's a win all around, regulators just have to be careful and not screw it up.

Yes, blood is rare enough that it's already "farmed". (http://www.medicalbag.com/medicine-abroad/blood-farming-and-...)
If it is sold as a "rejuvenating cosmetics" with scientific evidence backing it up, it will get bad.

We are continually performing blood generation. What on earth are you referring to?
