TED: Suspended animation is within our grasp | Mark Roth

The video explores the concept of suspended animation, where organisms appear dead but can be revived without harm. It discusses examples in nature, such as plant seeds and bacterial spores, and human cases where people were revived after being frozen. The research focuses on using hydrogen sulfide to induce suspended animation, potentially reducing oxygen demand and aiding in trauma care. Experiments show promising results in animals, and human trials are underway, aiming to make suspended animation a viable medical intervention.
