MarkSD Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Hi It seems that over the last few years a large number of advances have been made in suspending and reviving organisms that have been clinically dead and temperature reduced (including many higher mammals). The research of Mark B. Roth and Todd Nystul being very good examples - see http://URL removed It seems however that cryonics (also known as suspended animation) is not treated by scientists as anything more than pseudo science. This results in a distinct lack of interest and funding in this area. Something that I think is a shame when one considers the vast benefits to medicine and to humanity that would be gained from being able to suspend a sick or dying human until technology advances enough to treat them.
