U.S. Scientists Create Zombie Dogs

Posted by timothy on from the ooh-that's-chilly dept.

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."

    I agree. How the hell are you going to "Test it on humans"? Wouldn't you have to kill someone in order to bring them back to life? Last time I checked, that was not just unethical, but also quite illegal.

    And I don't know how they can say there was "no brain damage" in these dogs. How do they know? Based on MRIs? Behaviour? Wishful thinking?
