I am relieved to hear you report that!

Robert C. W. Ettinger profoundly changed my life for the better, and I would much worse than a hypocrite not to both acknowledge that, and to thank him publicly for doing so, He was thanked by me both publicly and privately on a number of occasions; and whatever our differences, my debt of genuine gratitude to him will always be there.

I was relieved to hear that his cryopreservation proceeded not just smoothly, but that it apparently went as optimally as current circumstances allow, with minimal ischemic time. I wish Bob the best possible outcome from cryopreservation and the best possible future.

In many ways Bob Ettinger was a very fortunate man. He lived to see his utterly paradigm changing idea practically implemented, and was able to have join him on his journey his wives, his mother and many of his closet friends and associates. But perhaps he was most fortunate of all in being one of a very few human beings (if any) who have faced down death absolutely certain that he had every reasonable chance of overcoming it. That is perhaps the most remarkable and satisfying achievement of all. May you live again, Bob Ettinger, and until then, rest safely and well. — Mike Darwin

His book Man Into always meant a great deal to me. I hope he can live again and see how much of the “the future” he got right.
