reanimated dogs three hours after death

[Steve Johnson <***>]

I thought this would be interesting reading for the
list. There are some comments with respect to
cryogenics in Kampis pointing out that if we are able
to revive animals from a frozen state this would be a
remarkable revelation about the nature of life.
Namely, that all the information about the "graph" or
"causal loop" that represents life is contained purely
in the relations between components and none in the
momenta of the particles. If life is regarded as a
dynamic process this is an astonishing claim: the
system loses none of its identity, the "loop" can be
restarted at will from degenerate phase where all
velocities are zero.

SCIENTISTS have created eerie zombie dogs, reanimating
the canines after several hours of clinical death in
attempts to develop suspended animation for humans.
US scientists have succeeded in reviving the dogs
after three hours of clinical death, paving the way
for trials on humans within years.

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.
