Scientists Create
Zombie Dogs

Scientists have created eerie zombie dogs, reanimating the canines after several hours of clinical death in attempts to develop suspended animation for humans. US scientists have succeeded in reviving the dogs after three hours of clinical death, paving the way for trials on humans within years.
 
Pittsburgh's Safar Centre for Resuscitation Research has developed a technique in which subject's veins are drained of blood and filled with an ice-cold salt solution.

The animals are considered scientifically dead, as they stop breathing and have no heartbeat or brain activity.

But three hours later, their blood is replaced and the zombie dogs are brought back to life with an electric shock.

Plans to test the technique on humans should be realised within a year, according to the Safar Centre.

However rather than sending people to sleep for years, then bringing them back to life to benefit from medical advances, the boffins would be happy to keep people in this state for just a few hours,
But even this should be enough to save lives such as battlefield casualties and victims of stabbings or gunshot wounds, who have suffered huge blood loss.

During the procedure blood is replaced with saline solution at a few degrees above zero. The dogs' body temperature drops to only 7C, compared with the usual 37C, inducing a state of hypothermia before death.

Although the animals are clinically dead, their tissues and organs are perfectly preserved.

Damaged blood vessels and tissues can then be repaired via surgery. The dogs are brought back to life by returning the blood to their bodies,giving them 100 per cent oxygen and applying electric shocks to restart their hearts.

Tests show they are perfectly normal, with no brain damage.
"The results are stunning. I think in 10 years we will be able to prevent death in a certain segment of those using this technology," said one US battlefield doctor.

I wonder if that would have deep space travel applications too?  

By the way welcome to the site!

*Shakes head* And one day...*Fast forwards to the future* Were here on local channel 8 bringing you uptodate news on this phenomenon. People have been resorting to canibleism and chaos has struck the U.S....Wait! Run! Run! Holy s**t! *Camera dies*...shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Dawn of the dead all over again....where's my shotgun, there's zombies to kill...re-kill...ummmm.....shoot. yeah that'll work

Zak

I wonder if that would have deep space travel applications too?

That could be one positive application..But it seems we're still a long way off before there is any long distance space travel in store for humans..

I can't help but to think of negative ways this science might be used..

They've been doing similiar things with African Voodoo 'zombies' for hundreds, if not thousands, of years. It's not as hi-tech as this, but kinda the same idea..

Or, worse case scenerio, we really do get ravenous zombie dogs on the loose!!

I hope to not live to see doomsday. I couldn't handle it.

So if they are dead then brought back to life with nothing wrong with them then does that mean there is no soul sorry but just wondering.

I wonder if they still seem like the same dog after ward....if done on humans would they turn into cannibal zombies, children(mentally, though physically adults), or would they just be...there. Seems to me that as time moves on we keep wanting to play god over and over again.

something to think about.

[Levinthross]

oh the possible implications amd uses of zombie dogs

Why the hell do we need freaking zombie dogs? If we cant have zombie Mila, we dont wanna no zombie dogs!

[Andrea Warfare]

Seriously the time will come when zombies will walk the earth. I know this. Whether it be voodoo.Virus strain. Zombie dogs on ice!

What I find strange is the report was from 2005 and there hasn't been anything on it later. I can't seem to find anything on the lab's website, although they have updates in 2007. It's like the project was stopped and never spoken of again... CREEEEEPY... Maybe we'll see a zombie apocalypse some time soon? zombie dog apocalypse that is...

If someone dies, i think it's best to just let him/her be dead..
You don't know how this person will be as a zombie. And if evryone
never dies then we're in serious trouble..

Reanimating "dead" tissue.

What is dead anyway?


If we can resurrect someone shouldn't we? If we can repair a body 100 percent and bring back a soul from the beyond, why not?


Why not finally beat death?
