Would a space hotel/ hospital, with 70 percent (Earth) gravity, assist those with weak hearts, or those in comas (bedsores)?

What benefits might less gravitational force offer to the chronically ill?? Would a very wealthy person with a weak heart survive the launch?

  1. Actually, in the long term it wouldn't do much because the body adjusts to difference in gravity. Old people could probably easily break something if that were the case, because they would lose even more muscle and bone mass from the lack of stress, which is the last thing an aging woman with osteoporosis needs.
