I've often wondered if more accommodation to the sentiments of friends and 
family couldn't be made, though.
   

  When I visited Alcor, the thing that made the biggest impact on me was not the
  shiny dewars, it was the photos on the wall. The people who are the patients,
  this is what it was all about.
   

  I think of movies like AI, where the parents visit their son in suspended 
  animation. The boy is lying in a sleeplike posture, behind a see-through 
  window in a single compartment. The parents can touch the glass, see their 
  child, leave flowers or presents.
   

  I know this is just sentiment for those focused on the science, but sentiment 
  counts a lot with many people.
