Excellent article. About time there was some serious work on this. Then again i see people driving around in cars who seem to be in stasis already. People travelling on commuter trains every morning put themselve in a kind of stasis, i did it for many years. What about cats? They seem to be able to sleep 23 hrs a day, study them.
