Yes, it might. If scientists are right, it will smell like rotten eggs.

Scientists think that hydrogen sulfide, the culprit that makes rotten eggs stink, may be the key to real life suspended animation. Hydrogen sulfide along with low temperature can slow down our metabolism to one tenth the normal rate. That means the essential supplies like oxygen, food, and water for space travelers can last ten times longer. They would also produce ten times less waste like carbon dioxide. This would help reduce the weight of the space craft and help reach farther into the deep space. It can also be used by people with serious injury: slowing down their metabolism will give more time for the live saving surgery. Right now scientists are successfully testing on mice and they have not found any bad side effects, and it is reversible. For example, though the heart rate slows down, but the blood pressure stays normal so that all the vital organs can function properly without any breathing problem.

So soon we may be able to experience suspended animation: inside a shell lying still, like a boiled egg.
