    Boffins create zombie dogs

    http://www.news.com.au/story/0...15739502-13762,00.html

    I found this scary and interesting all that the sametime. This is what gets me the most about the whole thing: "Plans to test the technique on humans should be realised within a year, according to the Safar Centre." Now this comes to my question. Should this new technique be tested and developed further? Discuss!

    wow.....thats pretty awesome......

    technically its not like any sort of "zombification" process though.......because the subject never actually dies.....
    its more along the lines of cryogenesis without the cryo

    Scary indeed. There's no limit to weird things like these within science.
    All scientists should get together and prepare how we are going to survive an eventual meteor hit instead [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

    i think something along the lines of no more fossil fuels or another ice age are more pressing matters than human reanimation or an oncoming meteor (according to that 10 ways to destory the planet site someone posted earlier, we would know of any planet-threatening meteor at least 15 years before it shows up, so we can worry about that when that happens).

    or even better....find a way to terraform mars

    and while we have the energy and time to figure all that out, how about solving some more immediate needs like world hunger or poverty (note sarcasm) =P sometimes i think humanity's focus in general is a tad skewed.

    Pretty amazing piece of news, but I shudder at the thought of anything going wrong during the trials on humans. Perfect setting for another B grade horror film eh.

    Indeed Psyke. That was exactly what I thought as well.

    It's only a matter of time before the dogs starts eating brains I suppose. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

    you know....im pretty sure the image of the dog was either not part of the experiment, or was the most exaggerated case of how he looked after the test

    you can tell that the writer had a pessimistic interpretation of the story

    But Perhaps you forgot that WE ARE HUMANS an humans DON'T help people Humans are selfish and y can bet you that this will end
    Like a MILITARY Research only........ and What happend with your need to help..... it simply didn't EXIST!!!
    It will be military reaserach only thats the whole point. I think they want to create something close to the 'Perfect soldier'.

    Yeah, and if they succeed, it won't be long until the enemy gets ahold of the technology, and that will take us where exactly? We will be back at square one.

    Indeed, that's why war is a chaotic vicious never ending cycle. But we all know for a nation to develop and prosper there does need to be conflict.

    Okay, If you die of old age, maybe you can be brought back to life by those means. But for how long will it last. You can't face the fact that your still old and your body can't function forever.
