Very Cool Fish. My brother, and I used to raise / breed them. Very colorful.

Can I be wired up to read and comment on FR while in, ‘a state of suspended animation’?

And would anyone notice?

Death is what make our lives and our time here precious.

Killifish embryos can put their growth on hold from five months up to two years, matching or even greatly exceeding their typical adult life span. If humans could do something similar, an 80-year-old person might instead have a life span from 160 to more than 400 years.

Imagine 80 year old Nancy Pelosi having this ability.

Bummer.

The whole idea sounds fishy.

The Killifish (we mostly call ‘em Kellys) in our salt and brackish waterways are almost the same, just a bit less colorful. Good Fluke bait.

hibernate, which may be necessary on future space expeditions

Long term hibernation would have a devastating effect on the human body in terms of muscle, tendon and bone deterioration as well as the ultimate weakening of the heart.

This is nice but human suspended animation has been around for eons.

Just look at the democratic party while they were at the impeachment sham. It don't get more suspended animation then that right there.

I’ve seen my birth certificate. Hurry the hell up on this.

We have a verbal shrimp species in CA that goes dormant/dead when the pond dries up and comes back the next season. Makes me all confused about what is death really and other philosophical head-spinners.

Continued life from a killifish.
