Changes

Often confused with cryonics, suspended animation (or anabiosis) is a distinct practice where a patient body would remain biologically intact, and could be reanimated without the need to deeply repair the brain, or transfer its information to another substrate.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.oregoncryo.com/suspendedAnimation.html|title=Oregon Cryonics - Suspended Animation|website=www.oregoncryo.com|access-date=2019-01-24}}</ref> However, improvements in suspended animation would also improve the quality of cryopreservations given a patient could be maintained alive at lower temperature before undergoing the damaging cryonics procedure. So this timeline also includes some important milestones with regards to suspended animation technology.
