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.

Raph's Girl note: This.. is just wierd... :o

Wow. It's not a joke this time? That's ridiculous! Oh, we're all going to die...BRODIE! I'M STAYING BY YOU SINCE YOU READ THE SURVIVAL GUIDE!

Holy crap on a crutch. Okay that does it, I'm getting off the planet this is way too weird for me. Weird, weird, weird.... :dead:

Animal testing is sick. People should stop that immediately.

Anyways, reanimation.. hooray. More zombies.

Dont tell Paul Anderson. He'll make a instructional video on how to rip off the Matrix and run up a wall kick the dog in the face.

Do you know the movie "Yamakasi"? There they have a scene that just reminded me of Spitfire's scenario.

...You mean the scene where the kids run up a wall and flip over the dogs that were chasing them?

Exactly... so, you've seen the movie? They didn't exactl kill them but sure confused the hell out of them.

Yeah, I've seen it. Pretty damn good movie if I do say so myself...

...back on topic, does anyone here think this is the "beginning of the end" for mankind?

Nah, it will just be hella lot of trouble to get all those Zombies to eat lead... oh, and weapon manifacturers will make a fortune.

I, for one welcome our new Zombie Dog overlords.

:lol:

You're actually WILLING to let them enslave you?

That reminds me of Kent Brockman and "Hail the Ants!"

But I guess we could avert the crisis by creating Zombie-Bones (tm).

And the Matrix didn't steal bullet time from anything else, ever, now did it?


********.

Anyway, I told you guys to be careful, do you ever believe me? No.

Now zombies are gonna be begging to go out, and asking for treats....except the treat will be your insides.

I knew you'd show up to jizz on this thread soon enough.

Psh Im well aware that they stole it from old Kung-Fu movies but the matrix is more well known then those movies so making a joke like that would require me to use the Matrix for everyone to get it

Anybody go to the site the article originated from??? There's a pic of one of the Zombie dogs.... a Zombie Wolf from the looks of things and boy does he look pissed! :o

Wolf: Snarl...brains....snarl....growl...

oh boy not good you guys this is an eye opener for me

Wow. Give's a whole new meaning to "Extra lives".

That just looks like an ordinary wolf in a fight, it even looks as if it was stuffed (notice the glassy eyes and the seemingly dry mouth). Sort of thrown to the ground... If it truly was a scientific research-thing, then you'd expect it to take place in a controlled environment, which most likely does not include snow...
