    Absolutely, the fluid filled spacecraft is a much better idea for reducing the effects of acceleration; consider the whale, supported by water and it's own bouyancy- on land it cannot support its own weight and suffocates.

    I would go further and fill the spacecraft with nanomachines, capable of actively carrying oxygen to the lungs and CO2 away, yet able to become rigid and supportive when required. Utility fog is an example of such an imaginary technology.
