Dead? Maybe not!
Yesterday I made myself something to eat and turned on the TV at Supper time. There was a re-run of Star Trek Voyager on. In this particular episode, Nelix dies, and 18 hours later Seven of Nine uses nanotechnology to reanimate him. We all know this is impossible... right?
Au contraire! The Pittsburgh's Safar Centre for Resuscitation Research have created eerie zombie dogs, reanimating the canines after several hours of clinical death in attempts to develop suspended animation for humans.
The article goes on to say:
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.
They say this "should be enough to save lives such as battlefield casualties" and that's all good and fine. I can't help but think how discouraging it would be to be killed twice in the same day though.
