IT Home reported on August 17 that according to the MIT Technology Review website, the U.S. Advanced Projects Agency-Health (ARPA-H) recruited scientist Jean Hébert.It also funded the "functional brain tissue replacement" program to delay aging by implanting young tissue into the brain.。

President Biden created ARPA-H in 2022 as an agency within the Department of Health and Human Services to pursue “bold, urgent innovations” with transformative potential.

Biologist Herbert from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine proposed a more radical plan:To avoid death from old age, the brain could be replaced entirely, along with the rest of the human anatomy.。

In his 2020 book, Replacing Aging, Herbert argues that to achieve immortality, people would have to find a way to replace all of their body organs with younger ones, just like keeping a high-mileage car running with new struts and spark plugs.

It was reported that he had proposed a $110 million (IT Home Note: currently about 789 million RMB) project to the US National Research Projects Agency (ARPA-H) to prove his ideas in monkeys and other animals, but the US government "didn't blink" at the number.

ARPA-H confirmed this week that it has hired Hébert as project manager.
