Documentary out now!
Tech entrepreneur Bryan Johnson’s controversial search for eternal life through science involves plasma transfusions, fat transfers — and more than 50 pills a day.
In this exclusive sneak peek of the trailer for the Netflix documentary, for Don’t Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever, Johnson, 47, shows off the extreme measures he’s taken in his pursuit of extending his natural life and explains the motivation behind his search for the proverbial Fountain of Youth.
“I’m trying to be on the outermost edge of possibility for the science,” explains Johnson in a voiceover as he gets his first-ever gene therapy, one of the treatments he says he’s spent “millions of dollars” on as part of his “anti-aging protocol.”
And the reason behind his search, Johnson says, is family: “I really want to have multiple lifetimes with my son,” he says of Talmage. “One hundred years is not enough.”
Johnson and Talmage, along with Johnson’s father, took part in the first “multi-generational” plasma exchange, which is shown in the documentary. In the exchange, Talmage donated his plasma to his father, who in turn donated his own plasma to his aging father.
“We may walk into a future where all of us live healthier and longer. I want to live with everything that I am,” says Johnson, who is uses himself as his research subject and publishes everything online.
"I think his rectum went viral," one person comments in the trailer, while a colleague says, "I'm worried for him. We just don't know how his body's going to react" to all the experimental treatment.

“As a species, we accept our inevitable decay, decline, and death,” Johnson says. "I want to argue that the opposite is true.”
Don’t Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever, premieres on Netflix on Jan. 1.
