[quote=@HeySeuss]The process is a type of stasis, absolutely. I did not go into details but if someone has the science to come up with something viable, I am all for.[/quote]
Check out [url=http://www.sf-encyclopedia.com/entry/cryonics]Cyronics[/url]. IN this case it could be an unintended consequence of the suspended animation process. There was a ST:TNG episode in 1992 where retired Commander Montgomery Scott's molecules were suspended in a transporter beam until the Enterprise-D came along and completed the beam bring him back alive after 75 years in "stasis". Not the same thing, I know, but at least his appearance remained unchanged over that 75 year period. Am I grasping here?
