The PBS special covered cryonics within the first hour on the 4th. It was only a few minutes but it was nice that they even thought of including cryonics. The segment basically consisted of Carlos explaining the difference between a torn and burned piece of paper and comparing it to the information needed for reanimation. Also the dewars, operating room, and exterior of Alcor were shown. It made Alcor look quite credible, yet suggested that it was the only organization of this type. Unfortunately the episode was very short and choppy, so I don't know how much of it would really sink in to the average viewer. At least it was upbeat and portrayed cryonics as offering an alternative view of death. - O Martin Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=2429
