    im not sure about websites but i can give you an overview of this. suspended animation is thought to be possible only when the body reaches absolute zero or -459.67 degrees F. it is suspected that when an object reaches this temp that all matter stops moving, the problem with living tissues is that crystals would start to form in the blood and muscle, damaging them greatly, and therefore would be greatly detrimental to a person should they need to be revived at anytime. as far as heart rate goes there are some people in the east that, through intense mental and physical training, are able to slow their heart rate down to a point that in a normal person would render them unconscious and maybe even dead. hope this helps you.

    much like hibernation..... the body, when chilled just so, slows down... heartbeat, breathing, all body functions.... that's why folks who have accidents in cold water , and seem to have drowned, can sometimes be revived.... that ability will be what we need when the big trips to the stars are begun, I'd think.....
