If the show was negative -- I didn't see it -- has anyone decided to write
to Fox and say that portrayal was unfair? If Fox gets letters, it might, in
the future, be more willing to show a balanced (I would like say "objective"
but that might be asking too much:) presentation on the subject. At least,
it will give Fox an idea that there are some pro-cryonics people out there
who care.
