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.

According to the report, plans are to eventually be able to use the procedure on humans, not to preserve them for years later, but rather for a few hours to help save patients who have lost considerable amounts of blood as in combat and injuries in which large amounts of blood is lost.

The tests on the dogs have indicated that they are perfectly normal after the procedure with no brain damage detected. The good side of this is that it may be a technique that can be used to save many victims who would have otherwise died from their wounds. The downside is that this will only fuel the cryogenics fire. Of course, they're wasting their time (and money)...the only way to beat death is to follow the One who overcame it.
