Exposure to hydrogen sulfide can reduce demand for oxygen apparently. There are reports of people surviving with no heartbeat, in the cold, frozen. He hypothesised that toxic hydrogen sulfide could reduce the demand for oxygen. Now the first thing I think of is the cyro-sleep that people are put in in the scifi video games I play. They go into a frozen state for X amount of years, and return when it is convenient to the plot. They have had it work for short times on mice, but I wonder if it would be able to work for maybe years at a time. Another point he made was what they are already using it for: heart attack patients, surgeries, etc. It is such an interesting way of remedying those kinds of problems.

Deception. The humans think they are assisting them, but really they just want as many humans alive and healthy as possible. Similar to how earth eats other species, this higher alien species exploits humanity. If humans were to find other planets, we would probably exploit the other planet as much as possible. Even if it is not life, we are exploiting earth in a similar was already. We use all of the natural resources and move on. This alien species has probably gone to many other planets, exploited them and moved on. A scavenger of sorts.
The next human species. Not it's own species, but a mixture of many species. Mostly homo sapien, but with the desirable traits of other species as well. At this point, you are not homo sapien at all, but a whole new species that is only similar to homo sapiens. If certain genes can be inserted in humans as they please, will there be millions of different species of "human" existence? Will the poor not able to buy these advancements be heavily discriminated against? I can only think of a "bioshock" type environment with the addictive "enhancements" completely destroying the city in the splicer's fervor in attempt to find more of these enhancements.
