I support the Chamberlain/Alcor policy of having visiting journalist agree
to refer to Alcor's patients only as patients and not anything else.  I
appreciate this insistence of respect for these presently helpless people.

I am not worried about what the press says about living cryonicists.  We
can take care of ourselves in any debate about cryonics vs non-cryonics.
But the patients are not in condition, at this time, to defend themselves,
although when they are revived, I am sure they will be able to make fools
of the memories of mean-spirited journalists who were rude to them.  For
now, the only people who can defend the patients are the staff at Alcor,
and this policy is a good way to start.
