Bogdanov was motivated, at least in part, by a search for eternal youth, and remarked with satisfaction on the improvement of his eyesight, suspension of balding, and other positive symptoms after receiving 11 transfusions of whole blood.
Bogdanov je bio potaknut, bar jednim dijelom, potragom za vječnom mladošću, i sa zadovoljstvom je primijetio poboljšanje u njegovom vidu, zaustavljanje ćelavljenja, i ostalih pozitivnih simptoma nakon primanja 11 transfuzija krvi.
