The 48-year-old, known for spending millions on longevity treatments, says he has "cloned" himself as a newborn as part of an ambitious effort to develop replacement organs and test anti-aging therapies.

The announcement, shared on social media, has sparked widespread debate, with Johnson calling it the future of healthcare. But the medical experts have argued that the technology he describes is nowhere near reality.
