In the name of science, zombie dogs walk on earth

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

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.

And there’s a military application:

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.

Yes, it sounds like science fiction, and to be entirely honest about it, this is pretty cool. At the very least, this is short-term suspended animation, which could prove very helpful in handling trauma cases.

So, Zombie is no longer a myth!

    Well the dogs are hardly eerie, they have just been in cryposleep or suspended animation for awhile. Three hours is not that long. People have been found in partially frozen lakes and brought out, thought to be dead and a few hours later they came around.

    il y a erreur sur le sujet une personne morte ne peu reprendre vie j’ai étudier le fennomane du cerveau ainsi que toute expérience sur l’homme, on ne peu faire revivre un homme dans la mesure que d’ai la mort les neurones se détériore a la mort sans conter qu’on a déjà retrouver des personne qui na pas pu respirer si se n’ai que 5 min et qui avait des dommages au niveau du cerveau alors vos truc sur la ressuscitation c du pipo.

    there is error about a dead person can not resume life fennomane I study the brain as well as any experiment on humans, it does little to revive a man as far as I death neurons deteriorates without a death count that has already find person who has not been able to breathe if that will have 5 minutes and had damage to the brain then your stuff on the ressuscitation c pipo.
