Human Barbie plans risky blood transfusion from son!

A 47-year-old Los Angeles woman who describes herself as a "human Barbie" is currently causing a stir with a controversial plan: Marcela Iglesias wants to receive a blood transfusion from her 23-year-old son Rodrigo to preserve her youth. She has already invested more than $99,000 in cosmetic procedures and sees the blood transfusion as the next step in her quest for eternal youth. “Blood transfusions are the new age for preserving young cells in your body, especially if they come from your own son,” she explains. Although previous studies show that such transfusions can work in rodents, there is no solid evidence of a beneficial effect in older people, such as gettotext.com reported.

Marcela plans to have the transfusion in early 2025, but is still looking for a qualified doctor who can oversee the procedure. She describes the planned procedure as a “gift of healing,” and Rodrigo is thrilled to support his mother in this matter. “I’m not sure if I need multiple sessions,” says Marcela, going into the details of the procedure. “That will depend on the results of the first meeting.” She particularly emphasizes that fresh red blood cells from her son's blood should bring more oxygen to her body and that plasma transfusion can support the healing process. Today.at has reported that it is important that the blood types of donors and recipients are compatible.

Risks and Medical Concerns

Despite its determination, the method is not without risks. In 2019, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warned about the uncertainties and potential dangers of such treatments. There is little proven clinical benefit to using plasma from young donors to treat or prevent diseases such as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's. Marcela, who follows a strict diet and fitness routine, says she even spends $780 a month on various wellness treatments to maintain her youthfulness. "It's important to take care of what's on the inside as well, as whatever you put into your body will reflect on the outside," she adds.
