	Many years ago I discovered a simple and effective means for
minimizing bad reactions to neuropreservation.  You do NOT describe
neuropreservation as freezing of the head.  You first prime your
audience with a review of the kind of medical technology cryonics
will require to work (aging reversal, cell repair, tissue regeneration,
the works).  If you still have their ear after that preamble,
you then introduce neuropreservation as freezing of THE BRAIN.  Later,
during nitty-gritty discussions of how the brain is removed (if they
ask), you can mention that it is removed with the head still around
it for protection. 

	Neuropreservation in its most basic essence *is* brain freezing,
not head freezing, and that is how it should be presented.
