he has used his own teenage son’s blood to test whether transfusions from a younger person had any direct health benefit on someone his age (he has since discovered that they do not)

Imagine if it worked, though. This dude would have a basement full of teenagers, their blood being siphoned for his own twisted purpose.

Not only him, but other rich people too. Glad that didn't work

I mean, if it did work he'd have a pretty strong motive to claim that it didn't.

I can't wait for him to sacrifice his son to save prolong his own life (how noble)
