True, but we know it by analogy. And in sci-fi we are speaking about a much deeper kind of hibernation than other ma..."

It is very interesting what you say John in a video that Professor Manuel Alfonseca, Jaime Blanch Queral and, a humble servant moderated by Don Alberto Balayla and which was about science fiction, the Professor went so far as to say that not everything that is written in science fiction stories is science. I agree with John to replace the "we know" with "we think", Because we can't know for sure what would happen if a person hibernated. Everything is speculative and theoretical. There are several examples of the former. In previous posts I talked about the novel "The Aviator" by Eugene Vodolazkin, and that's what happens in the movie "Planet of the Apes" the 1968 version that the girl dies, because she doesn't overcome the effects of hibernation and, then in the second case that's what Star Trek does with Kahn's crew in J.J. Abrams' version.

John wrote: "I suspect, that if some technology is developed that can force hibernation on people, then two things will eventuate: (1) there will be some significant adverse effect from the hibernation; (2) such hibernation will eventually become the preferred way to imprison the unwieldy."

I am afraid you may be right in both things!

Unfortunatelly i belive that John is right ☹️.
