Aestivation
Aestivation or æstivation (from Latin aestas , summer, but also spelled "estivation" in American English ) is a state of animal dormancy , similar to hibernation , characterized by inactivity and a lowered metabolic rate, that is entered in response to high temperatures and arid conditions. [ 1 ] It takes place during times of heat and dryness, the hot dry season, which are often the summer months. Invertebrate and vertebrate animals are known to enter this state to avoid damage from high temperatures and the risk of desiccation .Suspended animation is the slowing of life processes by external means without termination.

For most of cryonics history (which began in the mid-1960s), all of the cryonics organizations offering cryonics services have been in the United States. In 2005 a cryonics organization was created in Russia (just northwest of Moscow) and there are plans for another cryonics organization in Australia to offer perfusion and storage of cryonics patients within a few years. CI does not endorse any other cryonics organizations.
