What if death is optional? From the BOLD Awards in Barcelona, Keith Koo sits down with Jose Luis Cordeiro - MIT-trained engineer, student of Marvin Minsky, longtime collaborator of Ray Kurzweil, former Singularity University faculty, and author of "The Death of Death" (now in 15 languages) - for a deep dive on the science of cryonics, transhumanism, and the future of human longevity. Cordeiro calls cryonics Plan B. Plan A is biological rejuvenation by 2045 - Ray Kurzweil's forecast for when humanity reaches the technological singularity. Cordeiro argues death is already becoming optional, with the 2050s as the projected window for reanimating cryonically suspended people.
