Humans will be kept between life and death in the first suspended animation trials

At a hospital in Pittsburgh, surgeons are now allowed to place patients into a state of suspended animation. If a patient arrives with a traumatic injury, and attempts to restart their heart have failed - if they're on the doorstep of death - they will have their blood replaced with a cold saline solution, which stops almost all cellular activity. At this point, the patient is clinically dead - but if the doctors can fix the injury within a few hours, they can be returned to life from suspended animation by replacing the saline with blood.

As for me; I have it noted on my Driver's License that my veins, in case I'm put into suspended animation, are to be filled with Cold Beer and not saline solution.
