Robert C. W. Ettinger is ninety-one years old and he is a founder of the cryonics movement.

The cryonics movement itself, on the other hand, has a different approach: it just doesn't die.

Others haven't been so lucky, as the cryonics movement has had its share of financial woes.

The cryonics movement had been launched in 1962 by Robert Ettinger's book, The Prospect of Immortality.

Alcor advertised in direct mailings and offered seminars in order to attract members and bring attention to the cryonics movement.

From 1964 until circa 1990 the growth of the cryonics movement was slow.

His book, published in June 1964, would initiate the cryonics movement in the United States.

All of these developments considerably improved the strength of Alcor and the cryonics movement.

His book gave rise to the cryonics movement.

Robert C. W. Ettinger, founder of the cryonics movement, died at his home in Clinton Township, Michigan, on July 23rd.
