Sorry, im not quite sure where this should go but does anybody have ANY information on this. its the process of bringing a dead body back to life and I know there have been many religious, ethical and moral debates about it as well as scientific. I know there has been research done into it and I have heard that in the 50's russians brought a dead dog back to life using some sort of machine. I tried searching on the internet and all I could find where some hocus pocus websites.

beeen discussed quite extensively here...

lets get to basics... reanimation after how long? After 3 minutes without oxygen in your brain you don't need to be reanimated 'cause you cannot enjoy it. You'd be a vegetable.

No I'm talking after the animal is confirmed dead, I forget all the details but they take the blood out of the body and put in a chemical then slowly reintroduce the blood while there are eleectrical charges goiing through it that bring the cells back to life and in turn brings the animal back to life with few defects

I'm obviously very skeptical about this but this is why all those people have been frozen in hopes that something like this comes along in science

The only place I have seen that is in Frankenstein movies.

i believe that eventually we will have the technology to revive those who have been cryogenically frozen
does that count as reanimation?

well...a mouse has been frozen and de-frozen...the question is: was that mouse actually dead or was it just in suspended animation?

I think the word you're after is Zombification.

Braaaaaaaiins... neeeed braaaaiiiins...

I seem to remember reading about a Russian dog experiment like that. If I remember right the dog died again soon thereafter and while it was "alive" the second time it was not "right". Maybe the body can be wired up to work the arms and legs and generally make the body move about, but I don't know of any way to completely bring back dead brain cells.

I did read an article a while back about stem cells being used on Alzheimer's patients and that they got some cognitive ability back, indicating brain regeneration, or at least brain reorginization, was occuring.

You might be able to use a body that has been dead for several hours for a brain transplant. I've heard that they have done this successfully with many animal subjects.

The experiment that you are refering to involves them decapitating a dog, and hooking up its veins and arteries to tubes to recirculate the blood. They wanted to test the brain and physical functions of the dog in that condition, to see if reanimation is possible. The link posted will show how they conducted their experiment.

Other than what was done here, a full, permanent reanimation is not possible.

not yet, obviously neither of us know what will be possible in the future.

Although I would be interested to see it, I'm not sure I would want to be reanimated after several years...unless I was in really good shape. I mean, if you reanimate, do you age? Hmm...

it would be pretty weird to wake up like 30 years into the future huh?

Weird would be an understatement. And I bet there would still be no flying cars.

So considering that the dog was clinically dead, and then 'brought back to life', meaning its essential functions were properly working, would that be considered reanimation?

well i dont know what defines it or anything like that but im talking the ability to put life back into dead animals not just revitilize recently dead ones

I guess it would depend on how long they've been dead. Body tissues break down pretty quickly after death, so I would imagine that there would be some sort of time limit on how soon after death, reanimation would still be possible.
Are we talking hours or days?

If a body is frozen, then it supposedly stops the decay, but for how long? I certainly don't know.
