Lebzeitenübertragung

Lebzeitenübertragung, often translated as "lifespan transfer" or "life extension transfer," is a speculative concept exploring the theoretical possibility of transferring the biological lifespan or vitality from one organism to another. This idea is primarily found in science fiction and philosophical discussions rather than in established scientific research.

The core notion is that an individual's aging process or remaining lifespan could somehow be detached and attached to another. This could hypothetically be achieved through advanced biological, technological, or even supernatural means. In fictional narratives, such transfers are often depicted as a way for the old or dying to regain youth or extend their existence by drawing from the life force of others, often with significant ethical implications.

Scientifically, there is no known mechanism for transferring biological lifespan. Aging is a complex biological process influenced by genetics, cellular damage, and environmental factors, not a discrete quantifiable entity that can be simply moved. While research into extending lifespan through genetic manipulation, cellular repair, and other biotechnologies is ongoing, these efforts focus on slowing or reversing aging within an individual, not on transferring it. The concept of Lebzeitenübertragung remains firmly in the realm of imagination.
