Lowering an organism’s temperature to the point where life functions are almost stopped is a procedure known as Cryonics. The organism is kept at cryogenic temperatures
===Virtual Reality Suspended Animation===
 
Cryonics is the practice of preserving humans and pets by storing them at cryogenic temperatures -- where metabolism and decay are almost completely stopped -- for the purpose of future reanimation.
 
Virtual Reality Suspended Animation


While on P7J-989, SG1 were trapped in a virtual reality by devices that acted as a sort of stasis. The technology linked their minds to others, as well as keeping the mind active through the virtual reality and sustaining their physical well being.  The people of the planet had been in suspended animation for 1022 years. It was explained by the mock version of Dr Frasier that the machines provided oxygen, fed the occupants, removed waste and controled the nervous system, all this through a series of punctures in their temples, spinal cords and abdominal areas. These punctures were created by tubes, that wrapped themselves around the occupant. These tubes were attached to the large black chairs that the sleepers were seated in.(2.04 "The Game Keeper")

===Goa’uld Cryonics===


When Hathor captured SG1, O’Neill, Carter and Daniel were frozen, using the Goa’uld form of Cryonics. The freezing process involved lowering a tank into a pit, which lowered the temperature of he body. Once the tank was taken out of the pit, the person frozen inside would revive automatically. Colonel O’Neill had been taken as a host, but before the melding could take place, he was frozen. The Goa’uld died. Teal’c was not frozen, perhaps because this form of cryonics had a damaging effect on the symbiote. The process had an affect on the human body, after being brought out of the stasis, the user would feel disorientated and cough for a few minutes.(2.22 "Out Of Mind", 3.01 "Into The Fire")

Summary

SG1 have encountered various races with the technology to preserve life through different methods of stasis.

While on P7J-989, SG1 were trapped in a virtual reality by devices that acted as a sort of stasis. The technology linked their minds to others, as well as keeping the mind active through the virtual reality and sustaining their physical well being. The people of the planet had been in suspended animation for 1022 years.

These punctures were created by tubes, that wrapped themselves around the occupant. These tubes were attached to the large black chairs that the sleepers were seated in.(2.04 "The Game Keeper")

Ma'chello’s Hibernation Chamber

Samantha Carter found a device that she theorised was a hibernation chamber while looking around Ma'chello’s room. It had tubes and units that seemed to be for life support. This device was never seen in operation.(2.18 "Holiday")

Goa’uld Cryonics

When Hathor captured SG1, O’Neill, Carter and Daniel were frozen, using the Goa’uld form of Cryonics. The freezing process involved lowering a tank into a pit, which lowered the temperature of he body. Once the tank was taken out of the pit, the person frozen inside would revive automatically. Colonel O’Neill had been taken as a host, but before the melding could take place, he was frozen. The Goa’uld died. Teal’c was not frozen, perhaps because this form of cryonics had a damaging effect on the symbiote. The process had an affect on the human body, after being brought out of the stasis, the user would feel disorientated and cough for a few minutes.(2.22 "Out Of Mind", 3.01 "Into The Fire")

The Goa’uld can also be kept in a sarcophagus. Hathor was, according to Daniel Jackson, kept in her sarcophagus for around two thousand years. The Goa’uld Marduk was trapped in his sarcaphagus with a creature, which ate him alive. Because the sarcophagus did its best to keep the Goa’uld alive, the death would have been much slower. (1.14 "Hathor", 5.08 "The Tomb")

A canopic jar was used to keep the Goa’uls symbiotes Osiris and Isis in stasis, they had been ‘banished to oblivion’. On the outisde, the canopic jar was a simple ceramic jar, on the inside was a Goa’uld naquada power source, emiting an electrical charge and keeping the symboites alive, and a liquid sedating it. Osiris remained alive for thousands of years in stasis. When the seal to his jar was broken while being studied in Chicago, the Goa'uld was able to take a host and seemed to be able to control her without difficulty (1.14 "The Curse")

Eurondan Suspended Animation
