Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping were caught on a hot mic discussing organ transplants and immortality at the military parade in Beijing on Wednesday.

The two leaders were captured on the stream as they walked with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un at Tiananmen Square, with the Russian translator saying: “Biotechnology is continuously developing,” according to Reuters.

“Human organs can be continuously transplanted. The longer you live, the younger you become, and (you can) even achieve immortality,” the translator added.

Haha what's next the wealthy are going to start harvesting our organs?

...
