What do you think about applying well controlled HIBERNATION TECHNIQUES on humans ?

Answers:
Hello Eldon,Greetings. Hmm. Interesting idea you have there. Well-controlled hibernation techniques on humans. Planning for the next Ice age, eh? First of all, let me state that hibernation is a habit adopted by animals living in extreme climate to "adapt" themselves to the environment around them. It's not like a hobby or anything fun. As sentient beings, us humans perhaps, won't like to go in a "sleep" as long as a month or two. I mean c'mon! That'd be boring and humans are bored easily. Us humans value our lives more than any other species and would NOT like to sleep through it.Also, there's no need to do so. We are homeothermic beings living in environmental temperature well within the limits (as compared to the common hibernators- the polar bears who live in temperature as extreme as minus 37 degree Celsius). Also, note that our body temperature is not as easily affected by the surrounding temperature as some smaller mammals like squirrels etc.But yes, experiments on the Hibernation Induction Trigger HIT (read more about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/hibernation. are being carried out in NASA and chances are that this chemical will help keep organs safe in storage for longer periods of time by lowering their metabolism.Nevertheless, as Stephen Hawking has stated here: http://www.ysearchblog.com/archives/0003. , earth is subject to a lot of external and internal dangers in the next 100 or so years and we need to gear up for that. We might consider using HIT (see above) and modern gene manipulation tools to create an artificial metabolism suppressor mechanism to put ourselves to hibernation and lower our body's demands to survive longer and better in the Nuclear age, Third World War, Ice Age or a deadly comet hit.Thank you for the question.

in my opinion if those techniques could be applied over every single cell in the human body they would be worth it . i think it would be interesting to take advantage of this by applying it in people whit terminal deceases which are still whit out cure . however i do believe that for now on this is pure fiction and i pretty much think they would only make our lives shorter . however i do know that as i write this is the dream of every single scientific to be able to do it , maybe through nano technology . also think about how we are always evolving and making new discoveries , now think how behind or out of place u would feel if u were sleep for ten years or so and wake up suddenly just to find out how different the world is and how many people you did not had the chance to say good bye to .
