Evan "Ev" Cooper (April 1926 – likely October 1982)[1][2] was one of the first advocates of cryonics. He was born in Butte, Montana, United States, under the birthname of Stanley Edward McBarron, which he later discarded.[1] In 1962, he privately published Immortality: Physically, Scientifically, Now, under the pseudonym Nathan Duhring, advocating what he called a "freezing program". In December 1963, he founded the Life Extension Society, the first cryonics organization in the world.[3]
In 1962, shortly after Cooper's book was published, Robert Ettinger privately published his book The Prospect of Immortality that independently also suggested the idea of cryonics. While Ettinger's book received more publicity, the cryonics historian R. Michael Perry has written that "Evan Cooper deserves the principal credit for forming an organized cryonics movement".[3]
