X-Message-Number: 32403 Date: Sat, 20 Feb 2010 08:32:33 -0700 Subject: Bad publicity leads to more hostile relatives? From: MARK PLUS <> --0016e648f4a0ae27cc048009e868 Mary Robbins's relatives might have decided to interfere with her suspension because they had heard the previous episodes of bad publicity regarding Alcor, including rumors of the abuse of a frozen head. If they succeed in preventing Robbins's suspension, while also intercepting the money she had set aside for it, that will give other members' relatives the precedent and incentive to try to stop their suspensions. And even if Alcor wins custody of Robbins's body, the media might frame the story in a way sympathetic to the relatives and derogatory to Alcor, contributing to problems down the line with other suspensions opposed by the suspendees' family members. What should we do to keep this from happening to potentially all of us with living relatives? -- Mark Plus Life is short: Freeze hard! --0016e648f4a0ae27cc048009e868 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 [ AUTOMATICALLY SKIPPING HTML ENCODING! ] Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=32403
