Death And Cryonics (with James Arrowood)

In this episode of "Death And," mortician and funeral director Victor M. Sweeney sits down with James Arrowood, CEO of Alcor Life Extension Foundation, to explore what cryonics actually is—preserving the viability of cells after death for possible future resuscitation—while busting myths about “raising the dead.” James explains how Alcor operates as a nonprofit dedicated more to scientific progress than sci-fi dreams, and shares personal stories, including the recent cryopreservation of a beloved staff member. Victor and James reflect on the emotional, ethical, and even spiritual sides of this process, drawing surprising parallels between funeral service and cryonics.
