Ah, but that is rather backwards, no?  The real need for research is
to advance suspended animation to the point where the methods have been
perfected so that they are reversible.  Only then, IMHO, can it grow to
the size of life insurance.  (And at that point, I won't care nearly as
much about how much further research is directed towards it.)
