U.S. Scientists Create Zombie Dogs

Alex_Ionescu writes "U.S. scientists have managed to revive dead dogs to life, by using a technique similar to cryogenation, in which the dogs' blood was drained and replaced by a cold, saline liquid. A couple of hours, their blood was replaced, and an electric shock brought them back to life with no brain damage. The technology will be tested on humans within the next year."

Biotech is Moving Fast

[Ted Holmes]

We wear the same body and brains as Cro-Magnon humans did. The same people who rubbed sticks together for fire, driven by hunger to the hunt, who worked with tools of bone and stone and bedded down in huts of skin and branches. But this 40,000 year old piece of soft clay is about to become it's own sculptor. Here are a few examples I've been following:

Sheep with human brains and other organs.

- The glow from the firefly has been inserted into tobacco plants making them glow in the dark.

- A human embryo cloned using a cell from a man's leg and a cow's ovum lived and developed for twelve days until it was terminated.

- Goats bred with a spider gene produce milk which is processed to make "BioSteel".. The US military has set up their own goat farm to make bulletproof vests, aerospace and medical supplies.

This is not just a turning point in history. It's also the fulcrum upon which technology balances our very evolution. ted

The hostages were only released because the Reaganite Republicans were willing to give weapons to international terrorists. You are correct, Carter was unable to free them. But that was only because he was unwilling to cooperate and subsidize terrorists like the Republicans were willing to do.

Which brings about the question: Are there too many humans on Earth? If yes, why try saving more?

Nope, there is plenty of room on earth. There is plenty of food, and everything else.

The only reason some people are starving is oppressive governments. And some distribution issues, but those can be solved, what's harder is stopping governments like Zimbabwe's which would not permit the World Food Programme to distibute food to starving poor.
