Zombie Dogs...

[Hubris]

SCIENTISTS have created eerie zombie dogs, reanimating the canines after several hours of clinical death in attempts to develop suspended animation for humans.

This is crazy! I can't imagine the wonders and dangers that can come from something like this. Extremely incredible though.

This is real scary stuff, so much for keeping it to the realms of si-fi/horror!!

Reading the article, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with zombies, it's more about tempoary Criogenic stasis(now sure of spelling) by injecting the sub zero solution into the body to preserve the organs. That title "eerie zombie dogs" has been put in there for shock value and is extremely bad journalism and completely contradicts what the person is writting about. If you look at the basics of it, stripping away personal opinions of the writer it just doesn't make any sense to label it as a zombie making exercise (mum's a journalist ya see).

Fantastic discovery though, if it isn't abused it could be very useful!

Its always been a wonder to me, if animals including us can be bought back to life after 2-3 hours of clinical death then at what time after death does "The Soul" leave the body, immediately according to most religions,so is "The Soul" rudely dragged back from where it was resting or do they return soul-less ?
I merely ask because my mates call me a soul-less b*****d and I wondered if thats because I died for a while in a bike crash. HAHAHAHA.

It depends on whether or not you beleive in souls and all that crap...

Wow
amazing article and just like the science fiction books described the process 20 years ago... who would have thought !!!

[Dave Black]

Mr Helm, you are quite right. I dont. Yes it is an amazing article but I work at a zoo so can never condone experiments of that nature, yet another example of man lording it over everything else on this planet. Want to impress me ? Get a scientist to do that to themselves !

Dave I second that. I remember getting a shampoo that said "tested on people" oh I DID buy it [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Cool, tested on people, I'd buy it too!
