LOOKING for some young blood - that's exactly what is on offer from a US start-up company which is offering transfusions of plasma from people aged 16 to 25 as part of an anti-ageing treatment.
Silicon Valley-based Ambrosia Inc says it has about 100 clients on its books aged 65 on average, with founder Jesse Karmazin claiming the regimen "could help improve things such as appearance or diabetes or heart function or memory".
Customers receive two litres of plasma from a young person, obtained from blood banks with surplus supplies.
Karmazin cautioned against high expectations - but not really.
"I'm not really in the camp of saying this will provide immorality, but I think it comes pretty close," he said.
"It's like plastic surgery from the inside out," Karmazin added.
Some ironic lost property has been reported at Ireland's Dublin Airport - including a headstone with the inscription "You will never be forgotten".
The memorial was misplaced at the drop-off area of the terminal a few years ago, and has never been claimed according to airport spokesperson Audrey O'Hagan.
Other items in the airport's lost and found section include human ashes, false teeth and a glass eye.
O'Hagan said there were also a significant number of abandoned crutches and wheelchairs left behind, leaving airport staff curious as to whether "some miraculous recoveries have taken place within the terminals".
