Episode notes

Dr. Max More is a philosopher, writer, speaker and expert in Cryonics - the process of cryopreserving a body at the time of legal death in the hopes of reviving them in the future. Dr. More is the Ambassador for Alcor Life Extension, a non-profit in Scottsdale, Arizona practicing cryonics. Max received a Doctorate in Philosophy in 1995 from the University of Southern California after completing a degree in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics from Oxford University.

Theo talks with Dr. More about what actually happens when someone decides to have their body frozen when they die. They also discuss the future of the world, the debate over “legal” death, and we ask Theo if he would preserve his brain for science.
