Remarkably Human Radio

Anti-aging and life extension technologies are rapidly accelerating, and some scientists, doctors and futurists believe that we are just a few decades away from being able to extend our lifespans indefinitely. But what happens if you're not in that younger generation? Or perhaps you are - but what happens if you die in an accident? Cryonics - the low-temperature preservation of the human body in hopes of future revival - is the topic of this episode of Remarkably Human Radio, and here to talk about it is Dr. Max More, President of the Alcor Life Extension Foundation.   Dr. More tells us exactly what cryonics is and is not, helps us to separate science fact from science fiction, and shows us why the idea is not at all as far fetched as some might think.  It's a thorough and captivating introduction to the science, philosophy and practice of cryonics.
