What's your opinion on this?

Personally? It scares the crap out of me. Mostly because they really want to do it to humans! Can you imagine running into someone like this? 'Oh, hi, yes, I was dead for a few hours a couple of years ago and now I'm not, they brought me back to life and now I'm technically a 'zombie human''

or maybe it'll be more like 'rawr braaaaaiiiiiiiins...' and my already overactive imagination will explode. Ugh, the dreams I've had! I don't want the things in scary movies to start being real, no matter what the scientific benefit. I'm still trying to get the dead asian lady from the grudge out of the corners of my house and I saw that almost 8 months ago! She hangs out sometimes with the girl from the ring and that wasn't even really that scary, but they come after me together.

Ok so on a side note does anyone know what chemical in the brain produces the imagination and how do I lower it? I know there's one in there that produces trust, there's gotta be one for this too.

That's very interesting in terms of biology, I wonder why it happens...

When is real life going to quit ripping their ideas off of classic games (Silent Hill)?

what if it became a normal thing, where someone just said "hey, reanimate me in about 30 years" like in austin powers...but then what if there was a big war and the hospital was bombed, then all the blood was lost...that would suck. id hate to be that guy.

Hey morons, this has happened before, BACK IN THE 1950s!!!

The inventor of Cryogentics did the same thing to his dog over 50 years ago.


I'm tired of people bringing this stupid article up in different forums. They aren't Zombies dammit. So I guess a person who survives after being found underwater for an hour in a frozen lake is also a Zombie?

Choice! :D

It's one thing to do it to your own dog by yourself, it's quite another to make a big deal over doing it to a series of dogs and then proclaim that you and your whole scientific group will start doing it to people within the next year. 50 years ago is before my mom was born, this is happening today.

Don't like it? Then don't read it. I made it quite clear what the thread was about, and the picture that they have attached to their little news article is kind of an overly mean looking snarly growling dog that they've killed and then brought back to life.

Calm down, my goodness.

You don't have to burst our bubble, zombies are cool. :(

I'm getting tired of people thinking that this is 'new.'
And falling for media Sensationalism. (Yeah I wrote it wrong)

I call it more 'froze' than killed.

How reliable is this news source? I mean I don't doubt that it's true, but someone that posts a picture of a snarling wolf next to an article doesn't sound like they'd put all the facts on the table... :rolleyes:

I saw this article months ago and tried to find it elsewhere online. I found only copies of this same article. So relax, it's most likely bullshit.

I believe we would've heard about this from another news source if it were true.

The picture they used is that of a wolf, not a dog. Makes me think they used it deliberately for its visceral shock value.

I dont doubt this is near to being possible, but its an oddly done story.

Never before has a thread been so appropriately ressurrected.

How appropriate. :D

I made the same kind of check when it came out and it's good. Such center exists and is part of Pittsburgh's University: http://www.safar.pitt.edu/

They also didn't like it too much about the media taking their research and turning it into a "zombie dog" story: http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/tribune-review/trib/regional/s_348517.html

They're concentrating on developing a way to keep the body from dying for real in case of an accident or trauma. If they can stop the bodily functions that means doctors have time to repair the damage without having the patient bleed to death in the operating room.

So far the dogs are normal, no sign of them having gone to hell or eating other dog's brains.

Personally I don't see why they'd bother with humans, there's an overpopulation problem anyway...but if they do it with animals I'm for it. This also supports my theory about how life started on earth!
