The Future of Death

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? Well, there’s no link, just a recommendation that is me saying it’s winter and these cold nights are a great excuse to re-watch Harry Potter :)
