They hoped to extend life through organ transplants. But this treatment would be reserved for white, male geniuses, not lesser beings.
I would also love to have a long and healthy life, hopefully without the need for organ transplants!

I'm male, I happen to be white (not that this should be too important for you-all out there) and I'm not a genius.

Oh well, I'll just have to hope that some people will remember me for something good or something nice after I'm gone. Probably preferable to an immortal existence among very old, white male geniuses, and having to have regular organ transplants!
