If a person were afflicted with an incurable disease, but had reason to 
believe that this disease would be curable within, say, ten years, would there 
be any options available using current technology to keep this person 
preserved for a finite period, with a reasonable prognosis for revival?

I have read in your FAQs that animals have been suspended and revived after 
short periods of time; has anyone tried to see how long an animal can be kept 
suspended at low, but not actually freezing cold, temperatures, and then 
successfully revived?

I assume this would be high-maintenance procedure compared to "traditional" 
suspension, and therefore much more expensive.

Or is there a "2001" style of suspended animation in the works anywhere?  
Again, expensive, but it would sidestep the legally-dead issue (right?).

Just curious--I'm poor and fairly healthy!
