On Lou Gehrig Day, we’re looking at what it really means to live with ALS. It’s a disease that gradually takes away movement, speech, and independence, but today’s guest knows it from both sides: as a physician and now as a patient. We last spoke with Dr. Alec Cooper here on the show in July, when he shared his work using AI to preserve and clone his voice before ALS could take it away. Today, we’ll get an update on that project, and more importantly, how he’s doing living with the disease day to day. Dr. Cooper spoke with Ken Connors.
