Scary Procedure

The Safar institute in Pittsburgh (allegedly) has been able to drain the blood out of dogs, and then replace it with a frozen saline solution- these dogs are considered to be clinically dead for three hours-no heartbeat, no brainwave pattern. Then, the blood is returned, and an electric shock applied, and the dog revives, with normal brain functioning and no worse for the ware.
(i thought this should have been a bigger news story, but the religious implication probably interfered- where was the 'spirit' during the three hours the dog was dead?

Doctors want to start doing this to humans soon- the main application will be on the battlefield... when soldiers are about to succumb from their wounds, all you have to do is 'kill' him/her, and revive them later at hospital !
