I read this recent article from New Scientist on placing gunshot victims in a state of suspended animation as a potential life saving operation. It is an insane and futuristic process.
NEITHER dead or alive, knife-wound or gunshot victims will be cooled down and placed in suspended animation later this month, as a groundbreaking emergency technique is tested out for the first time.
Surgeons are now on call at the UPMC Presbyterian Hospital in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to perform the operation, which will buy doctors time to fix injuries that would otherwise be lethal.

Of course, if one of the doctors says something like “this is just like what we did for Ted Williams,” I’d run for it.
