US scientists have succeeded in reviving the dogs after three hours of clinical death, paving the way for trials on humans within years.

The fact that they sustained no brain damage is a really f***ing awesome sign as its one of the main problems when somones heart stops beating - lack of oxygen to the brain.

Imagine how many lives could be saved by removing the 'time to get from scene to hospital' factor.

Awesome

I thought a dog's body temp was 45 normally?

I was hoping for a pet dog that you couldn't kill unless you had a shotgun to blow off its head ... the ultimate in low maintenance pets.

^^ then the dog bites you and you become a low maintenance IT worker

here cujo! come here boy!

whats the differance between death, and clinicle death?

meh, too much toying with the natural cycle...
if someone dies they should die.. sounds mean, but where will it stop.
i personally do not think this is such a good idea, even if it were to save a loved one of mine.. i would be thankful, but i dunno..

Stick where do u get your info from, asif a dog is that hot.

clinical death i think is defined as when your vital signs stop for a certain period of time (though i supposed that ppl have been revived from being clinically dead, so that's why it's only clinical). though i could be wrong on the exact defintion.

i reckon stick has teh mad google skillz

its 39 degrees celcius

stick lies again, just like when he says people like live guitar music

clinical death is when your vital signs stop period.(u _may_ still be revived)
death is when your dead.

Yeah, thats about it. When the body stops functioning your heart stops pumping which isnt as important as oxygen is no longer fixed to blood cells which means anything the heart could pump is now useless. The cells of the body, without oxygen for respiration, start to die and when the cells die they cannot be brought back. In the brain this causes brain damage.


So from a possibly revivable state is clinical death. 'Technically dead'

edit: its like in the princess bride, only half dead not whole dead or whatever, I cant remember the exact words.

"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.

but what about MEC?

Whilst this make work on non-sentient creatures, what of those creatures which are sentient (ie us)? Its all well and good that the dog died and was brought back to life, seemingly without cerebral damage but what of its memories? Or its personality?

Also, this wouldn't work on lawyers or politicians...

I thought clinical death was measured by a number of factors before they will pronounce you dead. 0 brain activity, 0 pulminary activity & 0 respiratory activity, dead dead is just plain eaten by coyoties, 6 feet under pushing up daisies gone.

heard it on some foxtel doco but wasn't really paying attention so I could be mistaken.

it wouldn't work on you hunter, you'd need to have a life in the first place, lol

Thats why they will run clinical trials before making wide spread use of it. And dogs are sentient, they just cant tell you about it.

Judging by some footage of question time, I think science already knows the answer to this - I mean half the backbenchers meet the criteria you just described so obviously we've discovered a reanimation technique :D.

just keep sufficient distance and you wont need it

lol becuase some professions arent alive am i rite

Hunter, it wasnt funny in either of your posts. stop s***ting up my thread.

I'd be more concerned about the brain-dead retards already posting in here... I'm surprised fuknukle can string more than two words together. Wonders will never cease.

Oh and I was referring to the fact that lawyers and politicians are blood sucking vampires who would cease to be without it.

And, who are the poor bastards who will form the basis of a human trial? I can't see too many people volunteering to have their bloody sucked out and have it replaced with brine.

Oh don't worry hunter, i don't think you are in danger of an unwanted suck anytime soon.

You're about as funny as the 200m hurdles even at the special olympics... ie not funny.

Your posts are informitive and witty as ever nF.

I take it Maxe found those other "unwanted shag" jokes funny, thus you must impress him with more ?

Thanks obes.

(Just quietly, does your gf know you drove her car off road?)

(lol)

why?
do you have to ask maxe before doing anything?

ooaaww i want a bite :)

BF2 Voice *MEDIC* - clear *zap* : Now get back in the fight !!!

You're about as funny as the 200m hurdles even at the special olympics

now that would be f***ing hilarious!

i can just see now retards trying to jump this hurdles and making retarded grunting noises... am i the only one? :(

O I was way off. Still thought, they got it wrong in the article which was the point I was trying to make. Makes you wonder about the accuracy of the other information;)

hahaha WhiteWolf exactly what i thought.

then the dog bites you and you become a low maintenance IT worker

Fish wins this thread.
Hunter, stop rising to the bait. and you get personal, instead of witty. so it just comes off as bitter, not funny.
