Bill Faloon and Saul Kent, Major Figures in Cryonics Movement, Start a Church ... - New Times Broward-Palm Beach
First, Bill Faloon gives a shoutout to Jonas Salk, inventor of the polio vaccine. "We need to put a pedestal up for him," Faloon argues. Faloon then tells the crowd that "cellular senescence," when mature cells stop reproducing, is the root cause of physical aging. "I never accepted death as being inevitable," Faloon says in a business-like tone. The pews are sprinkled with about 60 people: middle-aged women, friends from a libertarian meetup group, and gray-haired couples intrigued by an ad for the church that had run in the obituary section of the daily paper. Cameramen from Vice News duck down in the aisles, filming Faloon for an episode that's likely to air in the fall. Faloon's family is here: his lanky 18- and 20-year-old sons as well as his blond wife, Debra, who is 58 but looks downright girlish in high heels and a floral dress, a hot-pink flower in her hair. In 2013, Faloon and his longtime business partner, Saul Kent, bought, for $880,000, this building just north of downtown Hollywood that had formerly housed a Baptist congregation. Faloon and Kent are controversial figures in a controversial field. Source: www.browardpalmbeach.com
