If suspended animation is what you're after, why isn't any effort going
toward hormonal suspension or slowing of metabolic processes? Such drug
induced hybernation in my opinion is much more realizable and most
probably less damaging. The fact that there have been documented cases
of individuals going into spontaneous hybernation for years at a time
makes me wonder why no effort is going on in this area. Surely slowing
people's metabolic rate to 1 heartbeat per minute would not only be a
great interim solution to outright suspension, but advantageous for use
in surgery.
TANSTAAFL!!!
