Suspended animation is widely used in science fiction for the purposes of time travel into the future, long distance space voyages, and as a bizarre form of penal incarceration.
Real world applications of suspended animation are much more useful and now we may be on the brink of applying suspended animation techniques to trauma victims to improve chances of survival. Mark Roth discusses his method of inducing suspended animation with hydrogen sulfide with amazing results.
Meanwhile, because of high unemployment rates, fresh college graduates are being offered the opportunity to enter suspended animation until there are job openings or the distant future has a need for philosophy degrees.
