"Zombies rising from the dead sound like the stuff of horror films and nightmares - but it could soon be reality. Scientists have discovered a way to bring dead dogs back to life.

Using a so-called suspended animation technique, they emptied the dead animals' veins of blood and filled them with ice-cold saline solution to preserve the tissues and organs. The animals had no heartbeat or brain activity and were classed as being clinically dead.

The saline solution was then replaced with fresh blood and electric shocks were used to restart the heart. The dogs appeared unharmed by their suspension and had suffered no brain damage

Scientists at the Safar Centre in Pittsburgh hope to use the technique on humans within a year and are in talks with hospitals about trials on trauma patients.

Strange but good news.

1. So the dogs came bakc to life after the were:

clincically dead
injected with a saline solution
replaced the solution with blood
and shocked back to life

How long was the dog in "suspended animation" how long was the dog "clinacally dead"?

2. Gee, now there can be people recycling yards

Body parts. 30 day guarantee. No return on sexual organs.

3. Works for hours - what about decades?

Could make interstellar travel for dogs a practical proposition at some point. The only question is, why?

How many times has a 'dead man' come back to life?
