I find they do quite a few programmes that mention cryonics, most if not
all of which are generally quite favourable. I think they may even have
had one with Alan Alda in it (He's certainly been on one about extended
lifespan/caloric restriction). Alcor is typically the provider they mention.
Does anyone get the Sci-Fi channel? They run small 5 minute items between
programmes which are also pretty positive on >Human/Extropic themes. They
have one about extended life, Artificial Intelligence and cyborgism (which
includes the Extropes all-time favourite, Prof. Kevin Warwick).
