This however; is a much more pertinent and potentialy frightening human presumption of Godhead.
Seeker what are the real chances for success? It is very interesting.
Like the zombie dogs:)
I think some of the zombie dogs have been posting on these boards:)
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.
