I don't think its wobblers you need to worry about. Enough negative
press of this sort could get politicians, religious leaders, and
lawyers all looking harder at Alcor. Alcor doesn't want new laws
passed that restrict the handling of dead bodies, I presume. Nor do
they want family members of other clients launching lawsuits to get
the insurance money or the head / body back.
