Robert Ettinger had a superior cryosuspension because he didn’t rely on long distance remote standby from SA or elsewhere. He planned and had his ducks in a row so to speak. Many Alcor and SA contracted patients have rotted for many hours waiting for the very expensive far away teams. Some of these things were due to to matters out of anyone on the remote standby team’s control but distance cannot be removed as a factor. Robert had set up his own local standby with family, friends etc and the results speak for them selves.
Also the only reason CI ever had to operate under the cemetary statutes is because of negative PR and generated by Alcor with the Ted Williams case. Michigan bureaucrats responded to the negative PR with the current state of affairs. The cloak of cemetery regulation does protect CI to a limited degree in the future from further Alcor PR nightmares because it can be regulated in a way that the Michigan bureacrats can understand. So in the end it worked to CI’s benefit. I would hardly blame CI for making lemonaid out of Alcor generated lemons!
