Dr. Bonner plans to live forever through periodic gland transplants from younger, healthier human victims. Bonner looks about 40; he's really 104 years old. But people are starting to get suspicious, and he may not make 200.
A man experimenting with immortality must have a gland operation every ten years to keep from reverting to his true age and dying a horrible death.
Wanting to escape death ought to make a character sympathetic, and he effectively makes use of this, yet he also reveals a steely obsessiveness suggestive of a man warped by his experiences, by the repeated killing and the gradual separation from youthful 'peers' that comes with the shifting perspective of age.
