|-| 1965-10-30 || cryonics || || || Dandridge M. Cole || Dandridge M. Cole suffers a fatal heart attack. Cole had read ''The Prospect of Immortality'' in 1963. In his more recent book, ''Beyond Tomorrow'', he had devoted several pages to the subject. He had expressed a wish to be frozen after death. After some delay, a call was placed to Ettinger, who later would write, "I was consulted by long-distance telephone several hours after he died, but in the end, the family did what was to be expected {{snd}} nothing."<ref name="BedfordSuspension"/>|-| 1968 || cryonics || social || book || Robert Nelson || Robert Nelson publishes the book ''We Froze the First Man'' telling the story of Bedford's cryopreservation. However, his description is largely inaccurate. A more accurate description would be written later on [https://alcor.org/Library/html/BedfordLetter.htm DEAR DR. BEDFORD (and those who will care for you after I do)].<ref>{{Cite book|url=http://worldcat.org/oclc/434744|title=We froze the first man|last=Nelson|first=Robert F.,|date=1968|publisher=[Dell Pub.

| 2006-08 || cryonics || technological adoptoin || vitrification || Cryonics Institute || In August 2006 the Cryonics Institute filed a preliminary patent application for CI−VM−1 in anticipation of filing a complete patent application. Although a patent application was prepared, legal counsel advised that the chances of getting a patent were very slim because of commercial use more than one year prior to filing the preliminary patent application. We were advised to publish the CI vitrification and carrier solutions as a defensive measure so that others would not be able to prevent CI from using them.
