Wraith in a Sarcophagus

[Calhoun]

I was just thinking: Would a Goa'uld sarcophagus be able to feed a Wraith?

Wraith feed on humans for their "life force", which takes away years of a human's life in a few minutes. A Goa'uld sarcophagus restores health and adds years to a human's life (the ruler in "Need" lived some 700 years thanks to the technology).

Does this mean that a sarcophagus artificially creates the mysterious "life force" that Wraith feed on, and could this technology be reverse-engineered to solve the Wraith feeding problem once and for all?

Interesting thought, but I don't think it would work correctly.

Even if that didnt work. The wraith could just have one human, suck the life out of him then revive him and keep doing it again.
Would really suck to be that guy.

the desication of the corpses would indicate that they also take bodily fluids in the feeding process, and although a sarcophagus would provide life energy it cannot provie the rest.

the feeding process may be dependant on both energy and fluids and not just one or the other

That'd be strangely awesome...

That ancient device found - the 'fountain of youth' of season 7 - would be awesome to continually revive the human, since it doesn't require a closed lid..
