How Aaron Drake minimizes the three major types of damage: Ischemia, Ice Formation, and Decomposition
Clinical death vs legal death vs physiological death
What’s a “field washout” is, and how it differs from a “field cryopreservation”
The power of county health departments and why you should plan to die on a Tuesday
Why your pet might get a better cryopreservation than you
How to deal with hospital or hospice personnel, the funeral industry, and other pieces of the puzzle
The Yinfeng Institute and the current state of Cryonics in China
The cultural differences between the Chinese and Western attitudes towards death and the afterlife
