"A wealthy entrepreneur who spends more than $2 million a year and who has received blood from his teenage son and other young persons in his quest to achieve immortality, or at least stave off aging, reports that he has developed a rare disease that he says is causing “My stomach to eat itself.”
Biohacker Bryan Johnson, founder of online payments company Braintree, announced on social media that he has been diagnosed with autoimmune gastritis (AIG), an incurable autoimmune disease.
In a lengthy, nearly 2,000-word post on X, Johnson said, “My stomach is eating itself,” but declared that is “going to try and solve it.”
“AIG causes irreversible damage: nutritional deficiency, anemia, and over a long horizon, elevated cancer risk,” Johnson said. “When AIG is discovered today, standard medical care concedes defeat, stating that nothing can be done except managing the condition, no matter how awful or lethal the effects.”"

I could imagine even the biohacker (Mr. Johnson) finding this a little funny as well
We are going to die and need to try to make peace with God and to be always prepared to "meet our Maker"
I think biohacking is fine as a kind of attempt to become healthier, but psychologically and spiritually unhealthy if they're simply trying to avoid or "cheat" death
