James Arrowood is the CEO & President of Alcor Life Extension Foundation, a non-profit that has been advocating for, researching, and performing cryonics to bodies & brains since 1972. Cryonics is the practice of preserving life by pausing the dying process using subfreezing temperatures in hopes of restoring good health with medical tech in the future.

In this episode, we discuss the ways cryonics is already being used, how the money works, what motivates someone to become cryonically preserved, the mourning process, fish proteins & rabbit kidneys.
