About the episode
From virtual and eco-friendly funerals to cryogenic freezing and digital immortality through deepfakes and mind uploading, we discuss the evolving landscape of end-of-life practices. Join Dr Ben Hamer as we delve into the fascinating, and sometimes eerie, possibilities for honouring and extending life beyond traditional boundaries. DISCOVER MORE: Article from the BBC, which is titled ‘Would you get buried in a mushroom suit like Luke Perry?’ The Right to Be Forgotten Wikipedia page, a law or policy in different countries that looks at how they treat someone’s data once they have died. And the final one?
