'''Evan Cooper''' (1926-1983) was the founder of the [[Life Extension Society]] and one of the first advocates of [[Cryonics]].

In 1962 he privately published [[Immortality: Physically, Scientifically, Now]] under the pseudonym 'Nathan Duhring', a book that advocated [[Cryonics]] under the name of a "freezing program". While Ettinger's book received more publicity and had greater scientific rigor, long-time cryonics historian [[Michael Perry]] has written "Evan Cooper deserves the principal credit for forming an organized cryonics movement."<ref>[http://www.alcor.org/cryonics/cryonics9208.txt ''Cryonics''. October 1992]</ref>

Believing it would not be a plausible option in his lifetime, Evan Cooper ended his involvement in cryonics in 1970. He was a boat carpenter and sailor for the next 13 years of his life until being lost at sea.

Unlike [[Robert Ettinger]] he had no scientific training, and so his proposals of using arctic and Antartic storage lacked scientific rigor.
