Marc has worked for Interpol and is the Futurist for the FBI. If that is not enough, Goodman is also the […]

Fossel is also one of those unique people who are a real pleasure to see […]

During my recent visit to the Cryonics Institute I had the chance to do a video tour of CI and learn more about its vitrification procedures and membership policies.
