I have spoken to Jim and he agreed that so far as we know, no one directly
involved in his mother's case has said anything about it. Indeed I am only
addressing the issue now because Jim has named his mother publicly. Alcor
made one announcement about this case, which used the patient's ID number
throughout. I checked with Jim before writing my case notes.

Alcor's membership list is not accessible from outside the facility, and
we recently upgraded the security inside the facility. Our list of
patients, tissue samples, and preserved pets is very carefully maintained,
but is not accessible from outside the facility.
