    Too late some of our posters are already zombies

    US firm to try 'reawakening the dead' in Latin America | Daily Mail Online

    Could we soon REVERSE death? US company to start trials 'reawakening the dead' in Latin America 'in a few months' - and this is how they'll do it
    A US firm called Bioquark plans to test stem cell theory on brain dead patients
    The method, which hasn't been tested on animals, will be tested in Latin America
    The team outlined a trial proposal last year to do in India, but were shut down
    hmm...
    Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

      Hmm indeed.

      The mission of the ReAnima Project is to focus on clinical research in the state of brain death, or irreversible coma, in subjects who have recently met the Uniform Determination of Death Act criteria, but who are still on cardio-pulmonary or trophic support - a classification in many countries around the world known as a "living cadaver".

      Irreversible [as currently defined] coma? Maybe. Brain / brain-stem death? No.

      This kind of headline is unhelpful and confusing to bereaved families as the majority of deceases orgna donation occurs following the diagnosis of death using neurological criteria (brain-stem death in UK, or whole brain death in some other jurisdictions).

            Sounds like another millennial pie in the sky "we're all gonna live forever" fantasy.

            But I didn't read the article so I don't really know.

              They're not even bothering testing on animals first

              But it's in the Daily mail so it must be true

                  I wonder if there is a way of inducing brain or brain-stem death in an animal, while keeping it ventilated / perfused.

                    I'd suggest testing it on Corbyn or Abbot.. but who knows what you'd get back ..
