Pentagon: Zombie Pigs First, Then Hibernating Soldiers
Found on Wired on Monday, 07 December 2009
Using anesthetized pigs, the doctors are testing various compounds, some containing hydrogen sulfide, to find one that can safely keep the hemorrhaging animals "as close to death as possible."
A single injection will minimize metabolic needs, de-animating injured troops by shutting down brain and heart function. Once treatment can be carried out, they'll be "re-animated" and - hopefully - as good as new.
Sounds awesome and somewhat weird at the same time.
