Martine Rothblatt: The Tranhumanist, Transgender CEO (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

Martine Rothblatt may be the most interesting woman on the planet.  Futurist, Sirius Radio founder, pharmaceutical tycoon, philosopher.  The highest-paid female executive in America.  And born a man.  Now Rothblatt wants to knock down the wall between biological and digital.  Between life and death.  What’s coming, she says, are digital clones.  Mindclones.  We will all have them.  Stuffed with our images, memories, attitudes, voices.  Living by us and beyond us.  Doing chores.  Demanding rights.  This hour, On Point:  the world’s most interesting woman, on digital clones. / Tom Ashbrook
