So what I was trying to do is think of a way that we could study suspended animation to think about a way to reproduce, maybe, what happened to the skier.

And so, we wanted to find out might we be able to use hydrogen sulfide in the presence of cold, and we wanted to see whether we could reproduce this skier in a mammal.

And so I was wondering, when we were trying to reproduce the work with the skier, that we noticed that, of course, she had no oxygen consumption, and so maybe she was in a similar state of suspended animation.

The issue of women's rights in Lebanon has recently resurfaced in the wake of the murder of Roula Yaacoub, Manal Assi and Christelle Abu Chakra by their own husbands as well as the surprising controversy surrounding Jackie Chamoun's past photoshoot.

So we started to think Is this the agent that might have been present in the skier, and might have she had more of it than someone else, and might that have been able to reduce her demand for oxygen before she got so cold that she otherwise would have died, as we found out with our worm experiments?
