Three years ago this October, Kim Suozzi spoke at the Alcor 2012 Conference about her impending death due to brain cancer and her hopes in cryonics and technology for a second future. I remember it was a remarkable, difficult, and emotional talk and I also remember the applause when she finished speaking. She passed away a few months later and her head with her brain was cryopreserved and stored in liquid nitrogen at the Alcor facility in Scottsdale, Arizona.

The New York Times recently published a lengthy article about Kim that is well worth reading: “A Dying Young Woman’s Hope in Cryonics and a Future.”
