* MercyKill: Ultimately [[spoiler:Lester’s wife Cynthia basically argues that she did this by having her husband killed before he could submit the paperwork withdrawing him from the cryogenic freezing. If Lester let the tumour kill him he would be in no state to be revived after being cryogenically frozen, but killing him now allowed him to be preserved for the future, and his wife believed that he only wanted to withdraw from the procedure because the tumour was compromising his ability to think rationally]].

Added DiffLines:

An investigation leading to a pool of blood leads to the discovery that their latest victim was retrieved by a cryogenics company.
-----
*ArtisticLicenseLaw: Part of the problem with the case involves Lester’s body being removed from the scene. Weiss's cryonics company technically violated the law by moving the body in the first place, and could be charged with a crime under New York's Penal Code § 195.05 "Obstructing governmental administration in the second degree." As such, the legal wrangling in the episode to get the body would never have been necessary.
*CyanidePill: Ultimately [[spoiler:Lester’s wife Cynthia takes one while in protective custody so that she can join her husband in death/cryogenic suspension]].
*LosingYourHead: People essentially treat Lester Hamilton’s head as “alive” in the sense that he could be revived in future so long as the head is preserved in cold storage.

*OffWithHisHead: As a compromise with the NYPD, Weiss agrees to let the police study Lester’s body once his staff have removed his head, reasoning that cryogenics is about preserving the brain and by the time technology has advanced to allow Lester to be revived they will be able to clone him a new body.

*WhoWantsToLiveForever: Talking with Castle about the idea of living forever, Kate observes that she personally wouldn’t be interested in that kind of life as extended life creates the risk of wasting it.
