Resurrected dogs - Science

You guessed it. Scientists at Boffins labs have been brewing up something mind-blowing, and it shows in their latest scientific achievement. They have recently brought back clinically dead dogs. The process sounds very simple. First, once the dog has been pronounced clinically - mind you, not completely dead, as in where the central nervous system stops responding. According to Wikipedia, the definition of 'Clinical death' is as follows:

Clinical death is usually defined as the medical state in which it is impossible to revive a person with any technology at medicine's disposal, in essence the complete and irreversible cessation of all body functions. Despite the fact that the body continues to live in cases of brain death, it is also seen as a valid definition of clinical death by almost all medical establishments.

In relation to emergency medical care, clinical death occurs when the patient's heartbeat and breathing have stopped. The reversal of this state is possible through CPR and other treatments.

Secondly, the dog's blood is flushed out of it's body and replaced with a saline solution maintained at a few degress above zero point. This process forces the dog's body temperature to fall to a mere 7 degrees celcius compared to the normal 37 degrees. The major organs and tissues are preserved, even though the animal is clinically dead. Their bodies are then pumped up with their blood once again, and bringing back the heartbeat via electric shocks. It all sounds too simple to be true, but science has advanced so far that anything that we may consider unlikely is likely to be in the news in a couple of years, and sometimes even months.

Scientists believe they can bring back
humans to life within a few years.
