I wonder if these suspended states they talk about later in the article would actually extend your life for the duration of the suspended state. I presume the aging processes also slow down or stop. Perhaps this is a more realistic option for near-death people wanting to come back to life in the future than cryogenics.

It doesn't seem a realistic option for near-death (of old age) people, as it's probably too late to try to do something about it.

It would make much more sense not to wait to be near death to do something about it.

Yep I was wondering this but more about whether this state also slows other processes like bacterial and viral infection spread.
