The positioning of the body head down is for the protection of the brain,
the most important part of the individual, should a leakage of LN2 occur in
the dewar.  The rational in this are soundly logical.

Just because an element of the public does not understand:

1) The concept of cryonics in general.
2) The method of storage of patients for optimal safety

is not an excuse for the cryonics providers to bow down to the ignorance of
the general uniformed population.  The SAFETY of the patients should be
paramount above all other concerns.
