Suspended animation is the slowing of life processes by external means without termination. Breathing, heartbeat, and other involuntary functions may still occur, but they can only be detected by artificial means. Extreme cold is used to precipitate the slowing of an individual's functions; use of this process has led to the developing science of cryonics. Science (from the Latin scientia, meaning " Knowledge " or "knowing" is the effort to discover, and increase human understanding Cryonics is the low-temperature Preservation of Humans and other Animals that can no longer be sustained by contemporary Medicine until Outside of science fiction, the technique has never been applied to humans for more than a few hours.

Placing astronauts in suspended animation has been proposed as one way for an individual to reach the end of an interplanetary or interstellar journey, avoiding the necessity for a gigantic generation ship; occasionally the two concepts have been combined, with generations of "caretakers" supervising a large population of frozen passengers. An astronaut or cosmonaut (космона́вт) is a person trained A generation ship is a hypothetical Starship that travels across great distances between stars at a speed much slower than that of light (see Interstellar travel

Since the 1970s hypothermia has been induced for some open-heart surgeries as an alternative to heart-lung machines. This article is about the Decade 1970-1979 For the Year 1970 see 1970. Hypothermia is a condition in which an organism's temperature drops below that required for normal Metabolism and bodily functions Cardiac surgery is Surgery on the Heart and/or Great vessels performed by a Cardiac surgeon. Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB is a technique that temporarily takes over the function of the Heart and Lungs during surgery maintaining the circulation of blood Hypothermia though only provides a limited amount of time to operate and there is risk of tissue and brain damage for extended periods.

Temperature induced suspended animation

In July 2005 scientists at the University of Pittsburgh's Safar Center for Resuscitation Research announced they had managed to bring dogs back to life, most of them without brain damage, by draining the blood out of the dogs' bodies and putting an ice cold solution into their circulatory systems, which in turn keeps the bodies alive in stasis. The University of Pittsburgh, commonly referred to as Pitt, is a non-sectarian coeducational independent state-related, "public" research University The dog ( Canis lupus familiaris) is a domesticated Subspecies of the gray wolf, a Mammal of the Canidae family of the order Brain damage, or Acquired brain injury, is the destruction or degeneration of Brain cells. Blood is a specialized Bodily fluid that delivers necessary substances to the body's cells ��such as nutrients and oxygen—and transports Waste products This is an article about the rock music band "Circulatory System" After 3 hours of being clinically dead, their blood was put back into their circulatory systems, and the dogs were revived by delivering an electric shock to their hearts. "Electrocute" redirects here For the band see Electrocute (band. The heart started pumping the blood around the frozen body, and the dogs were brought back to life. Scientists hope to begin human testing and have already begun discussions with hospitals to use "suspended animation" if everything else fails.

While most of the dogs were fine, a few of the revived dogs had severe nervous and movement coordination damage, causing them to be mentally disabled, and demonstrating behavior that was deemed "zombie" like. zombie is a reanimated human corpse Stories of zombies originated in the Afro-Caribbean spiritual belief system of Vodou, which told of the people being controlled This has been pushed further by the media which named them "zombie dogs". ^[1] There is concern that this technique, if used on humans could result in brain damage similar to those suffered by some of the dogs in the experiment.

On January 20, 2006, doctors from the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston announced they had placed pigs in suspended animation by a similar technique. Events 250 - Emperor Decius begins a widespread persecution of Christians in Rome. Year 2006 ( MMVI) was a Common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. Massachusetts General Hospital ( Mass General or MGH) is a Teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School and a Biomedical research Pigs, also called hogs or' swine', are Ungulates which have been domesticated as sources of food leather and similar products since ancient times The pigs' were anaesthetised and a major blood loss was induced. Anesthesia, or anaesthesia (see spelling differences; from Greek grc αν- an-, "without" and grc αἲσθησις After they lost about half their blood the remaining blood was replaced with a chilled saline solution. As the body temperature reached 10 °C the damaged blood vessel was repaired and the blood was returned. The method was tested 200 times with a 90 percent success rate. ^[2]

Chemically induced suspended animation

An article in the April 22, 2005 issue of the scientific journal Science, reports success towards inducing suspended animation-like hypothermia in mice. Events 1500 - Portuguese Navigator Pedro Álvares Cabral becomes the first European to sight Brazil.

Hypothermia is a condition in which an organism's temperature drops below that required for normal Metabolism and bodily functions A mouse (plural mice) is a small Animal that belongs to one The findings are significant, as mice do not hibernate in nature.

After 2 hours of breathing air without hydrogen sulfide the mice returned to normal. Further studies are needed to see if the gas had poisonous effects on the brain. ^[3]

Experiments on sheep^[4] and pigs^[5] have been unsuccessful, suggesting that application to large mammals may not be feasible.

Induced human hibernation

There are many research projects currently investigating how to achieve "induced hibernation" in humans. [1][2] This ability to hibernate humans would be useful for a number of reasons, such as saving the lives of seriously ill or injured people by temporarily putting them in a state of hibernation until treatment can be given. NASA is also interested in possibly putting astronauts in hibernation when going on very long space journeys, making it possible, one day, to visit far-away stars.

Suspended animation has also been used in many stories (such as the film Demolition Man and the Tekwar novels) as an alternative method of containing incarcerated criminals. TekWar (or Tek War) is a series of Science fiction Novels authored by William Shatner. The rationale behind this is that prisoners under suspended animation consume less resources (such as food, water, housing and medical care) and that the only significant expense is the maintenance of the suspension units and the security around them. Water is a common Chemical substance that is essential for the survival of all known forms of Life. Sometimes, these facilities are placed in space, typically in orbit around Earth. Space is the extent within which Matter is physically extended and objects and Events have positions relative to one another In Physics, an orbit is the gravitationally curved path of one object around a point or another body for example the gravitational orbit of a planet around a star EARTH was a short-lived Japanese vocal trio which released 6 singles and 1 album between 2000 and 2001 Detractors point out that because there is no sense of the passage of time while in suspended animation, the prisoners do not have to endure the day to day aspects of prison life– thus weakening the punishing effects of prison. For other uses see Time (disambiguation Time is a component of a measuring system used to sequence events to compare the durations of Also, there is no opportunity for rehabilitation. Finally, because there is no aging in suspended animation, it has the unfair advantage, in the prisoner's favor, of extending the prisoner's chronological lifespan, thus making life sentences pointless. Life imprisonment or life incarceration is a sentence of imprisonment for a serious crime often for most Demolition Man developed a novel solution to one of these problems in the form of hypnotic rehabilitation, wherein corrective training and socially-beneficial skills are written to the prisoner's brain during their sentence.
