The Science Behind Animal Hibernation and Human Limitations

The article explores the concept of hibernation, a state of suspended animation used by many animals to survive harsh conditions, and questions whether humans could ever achieve a similar state. While hibernation involves a controlled reduction in metabolism and is common among various mammals, its application to humans remains speculative and largely within the realm of science fiction. Despite historical attempts to induce hibernation in humans, scientific understanding of the process is still limited, and the potential for human hibernation remains an intriguing but elusive possibility.
