How to accelerate living things really fast without killing them?

Okay, so our society has starting harnessing significant amounts of energy from its sun, and has started mass producing micro-black holes (although there have been experiments with gathering energy from the micro-black holes directly, because of engineering challenges, solar energy is cheaper. Many nations are trying to move away from solar power to a renewable energy source though, especially the outer colonies.) Now we can make a black-hole ship! The only problem is that we want to go far away really quickly, but living things die when you do that.

My question is, what ways can we get around that.

I am thinking something gravity based. If they are being pulled by gravity, it would pull on all parts of their body mostly equally, v.s. a spaceship transmitting all the acceleration into the feat/back.

• They don't want to send cells that grow into babies or anything like that. That is like a weird sci-fi movie. Who would do such a thing!

  • Ideally, it should be comfortable. Who wants to be strapped in a spaceship for 6 months! However, if your method is really efficient, it would be okay be to uncomfortable since it wouldn't be really long.
  • Maximum comfort would be the crew experiencing 1 G of acceleration applied to their legs or whatever is touching the floor.
  • Extra good if their are other habitable regions of the ship with different accelerations for recreation or scientific purposes
  • Or having an adjustable knob to adjust subjective acceleation

• Don't drain to much energy from the black hole!

• Don't drain too much energy from the black hole engine. Thats more energy you have to carry! (That said, you do have a ton of energy by today's standards, since you can through rocks in and get hawking radiation. Just not infinite energy.)

• The economy is doing pretty well now a days, so NASA has basically unlimited funding.

  • Although is it better if this technology could be created quickly, we can imagine that humanity wants this so much that they could gather resources for a couple of centuries in preparation.

• I am looking for the most acceleration possible, that will be the main criteria for picking the answer.
