A bizarre legal case pits the family of recently-deceased Mary Robbins against Arizona cryonics companyAlcor.
Robbins signed a contract with Alcor to have her head cryogenically frozen after her death. But now her daughter won’t hand the head over.
Of course it’s not about the head so much as the brain inside. The head is just nature’s packaging that has evolved to protect the jello-like brain from mechanical damage.
