Well, my wife got to meet Maria briefly today, but I don't think she 
will get interviewed, the HBO people are there tomorrow and her boss 
said to make sure and be at work so I don't know. There was mention of 
sending her up to Toronto (where some of the work is done) to film her 
there but she doesn't want to do it for the same reasons you mention; 
not worth the effort for the amount of face time. Last time something 
like this happened they had two days of filming in her lab and there was 
like a 20 second shot of her mixing stuff (or whatever I forget what it 
was for actually).

Yeah, those diseases are horrible, but there are worse ones like 
Huntington's and Prion disease (Creutzfeldt Jacob) which are unmanageable.
