I was under the impression that cryonic suspension operated differently / had different uses than deanimation. With deanimation, you just stop metabolism- with cryonics, you stop chemistry. It may be there are current cryonics patients who just needed to be put in an induced coma- but I get the sense that’s not the case.

Both kinds of suspension are found in nature. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2007/02/070220-frog-antifreeze.html
Intriguing! That looks like it might be useful- do you know if current cryoprotectants behave similarly?
