Robert Ettinger, author of The Prospect of Immortality (1962) and Man Into Superman (1972), was kind enough to meet me at his home and at the Cryonics Institute (CI) in Clinton Township, MI on Aug 3-4, 2004.
Mr. Ettinger is a hero of mine for his successful efforts to introduce the concept of physical immortality and cryonics to a wider audience.

Robert Ettinger's home - Mr. Ettinger was kind enough to allow me to stay at his home to save money from hotel costs.
During my overnight stay with Mr. Ettinger, I was fortunate to have about 2hrs with which we talked about such topics as "Death = Oblivion", the question of "Heat Death" and the possible creation of "Artificial Life."
