Boffins create zombie dogs
 

I was going to tag this onto the end of [url=http://www.groundforce1.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1008424&start=0:41415]KTOG's thread from a fortnight ago,[/url:41415] on the subject of suspended animation, but the headline was too good to pass up.

Boffins 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 a this should be enough to save lives such as battlefield casualties and victims of stabbings or gunshot wounds, who have suffered huge blood loss.

Duing 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.

That's fucking cool. Bush probably wouldn't allow it for some religious reason.

fuck that Jill valentine will take them down witha couple slugs.

Is that real? The writing kinda seemed a bit sub-par for what seems like such a relatively big story....

Dogs have been re-animated before back in the 40's or 50's by Soviet scientists. This is just a varient on the experiment that introduced a replacement for blood.

You can acually see the video of the one done by the Soviets. They also had just a dog head and they got it twich and move about.

Click the "News.com.au" bit in the quoted text, it takes you to the website with the story.

What the fuck.....Crazy, I never knew. Pretty cool I guess, It'd be interesting to see if they get anywhere with humans....

that fucking nuts. i hope they do that with people so we can have a real dawn of the dead. rock:
