Suspended animation

Posted on January 20, 2006 by Robin

Works on pigs! For at least 2 1/2 hours… well done, maybe we can do this to soldiers on the battlefields?

HASAN ALAM gazes over the cold, motionless body of a pig lying on a stainless steel table before him. The animal has no pulse, no blood, no electrical activity in its brain, and its tissues consume no oxygen. It has been in this state for two-and-a-half hours. It looks dead. “You would think so,” he says, “but you can bring it back.”
