X-Message-Number: 19468 Date: Wed, 10 Jul 2002 21:33:07 -0700 From: Olaf Henny <> Subject: The CNBC Report References: <> I am probably not the only one who caught tonight's (Wednesday's) clip about Alcor on CNBC, and I suspect, that there will be other comments about it here on cryonet. But IMOEO the report was as positive and as factual as we can possibly expect on. It contained a brief clip of Alcor's storage facility, which mentioned, that the bodies were stored 'upside down' 4 apiece to the dewar with enough room left over to accommodate five heads. Barbara Joyce Williams Ferrell was shown bemoaning the indignity of Ted Williams being stored there upside -down. Quite an emotional impact on a lot of people, no doubt. However people who are ruled by emotions will not be potential patients for a long time to come. Those governed by logic and therefore with a greater potential to become a cryopatient, will see little difference in the physical attitude of a patient in suspension. Lastly there was also a brief interview with Greg Fahi. Unfortunately I was interrupted at that moment and did not get the gist of what was said. I think the presentation of the dewars was positive and probably corrected in many the popular image of persons frozen grotesquely in ice cubes, as often seen in horror sci-fi flicks.
