The roots of young blood transfusion go as far back as the ancient Babylonian religion thousands of years ago and it is inherently tied to black magic...

Not a big fan of it though, all who practiced it are dead now. Not many lived beyond a 100 years, so where is the power in it anyway?

"But be sure you do not eat the blood, because the blood is the life, and you must not eat the life with the meat."  Yes, blood was often considered more fit for the gods and spirits than humans.

The greedy grasp at whatever promises more of anything, even if it harms them and everyone else in the end.

Just one more year, one more day, let me live.

But take communion, so that you receive the body and blood, connected to the words of sacrament combined with the bread and wine.

Blood isn't enough. We need sanctification words and body, as well. We get the body and blood when we eat the bread and wine that are under the sacrament words.

Scientifically, is young blood any different than old blood? Is it proven in any form?

The idea goes back further than the 50s.  The Soviet Union's so-called "God-builders" were interested in scientific as well as philosophical research into immortality in one form or another.   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God-Building


Alexander Bogdanov for example. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Bogdanov

"Later years and death

In 1924, Bogdanov started his blood transfusion experiments, apparently hoping to achieve eternal youth or at least partial rejuvenation. Lenin's sister Maria Ulyanova was among many who volunteered to take part in Bogdanov's experiments. After undergoing 11 blood transfusions, he remarked with satisfaction on the improvement of his eyesight, suspension of balding, and other positive symptoms. The fellow revolutionary Leonid Krasin wrote to his wife that "Bogdanov seems to have become 7, no, 10 years younger after the operation". In 1925–1926, Bogdanov founded the Institute for Haemotology and Blood Transfusions, which was later named after him. But a later transfusion cost him life, when he took the blood of a student suffering from malaria and tuberculosis. (Bogdanov died, but the student injected with his blood made a complete recovery.) Some scholars (e.g. Loren Graham) have speculated that his death may have been a suicide, because Bogdanov wrote a highly nervous political letter shortly beforehand. Others, however, attribute his death to blood type incompatibility, which was poorly understood at the time.[16]"



Conspiracy lovers these days half-jokingly say that many of the worlds elites already try using blood from children for longevity.  That, or they really are vampire lords, or alien reptiloid masters, or whatever.

Why Peter Thiel Believes Young People's Blood Is the Ultimate Medicine





Quote
"Vampires are now very real, but we never expected them to be our grandparents. A new technology is developed that allows the old to heal themselves with the blood of the young. This creates a problem with supply and demand of children's plasma. The seniors demand new laws forcing kids to donate their young blood, which causes a generational war."  https://www.amazon.com/One-Nation-Under-Blood-Dystopian-ebook/dp/B009SAMFEC#navbar
 

More than anything, Peter Thiel, the billionaire technology investor and Donald Trump supporter, wants to find a way to escape death. He's channeled millions of dollars into startups working on anti-aging medicine, spends considerable time and money researching therapies for his personal use, and believes society ought to open its mind to life-extension methods that sound weird or unsavory.

Speaking of weird and unsavory, if there's one thing that really excites Thiel, it's the prospect of having younger people's blood transfused into his own veins.

That practice is known as parabiosis, and, according to Thiel, it's a potential biological Fountain of Youth--the closest thing science has discovered to an anti-aging panacea. Research into parabiosis began in the 1950s with crude experiments that involved cutting rats open and stitching their circulatory systems together. After decades languishing on the fringes, it's recently started getting attention from mainstream researchers, with multiple clinical trials underway in humans in the U.S. and even more advanced studies in China and Korea.

Considering the science-fiction promise of parabiosis, the studies have received notably little fanfare. But Thiel has been watching closely.

Thiel and Ambrosia.

In Monterey, California, about 120 miles from San Francisco, a company called Ambrosia recently commenced one of the trials. Titled "Young Donor Plasma Transfusion and Age-Related Biomarkers," it has a simple protocol: Healthy participants aged 35 and older get a transfusion of blood plasma from donors under 25, and researchers monitor their blood over the next two years for molecular indicators of health and aging. The study is patient-funded; participants, who range in age from late 30s through 80s, must pay $8,000 to take part, and live in or travel to Monterey for treatments and follow-up assessments.
