The book explores the various methods that have been used to induce suspended animation, including the use of cold temperatures and chemical compounds.Overall, ""Suspended Animation and Premature Burial"" is a fascinating and thought-provoking read that sheds light on two of humanity's greatest fears and the scientific advancements that have been made to combat them.THIS 18 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Law of Psychic Phenomena: A Working Hypothesis for the Systematic Study of Hypnotism, Spiritism and Mental Therapeutics, by Thomas Jay Hudson.
