Real Zombie Dogs

From News.com.au comes Boffins create zombie dogs about draining the blood from live dogs and replacing it with saline solution that is just above the freezing point. Three hours later, the saline was replaced with blood again with no ill effects. During the interrim, the dogs were clinically dead: no brain activity, no heartbeat, no respiration.

Besides the gee-whiz factor, this has promising implications for seriously injured people in car accidents, on battlefields, etc.
