- tunapez, on 10/10/2007, -0/+233That article's way light on facts, there's much more to this Dr. Becker's story. He turned the medical community on it's ear with his discovery last spring: our cells don't die for hours after we're deemed "clinically dead". The damage occurs not from lack of O, but the reintroduction of O after a starvation period of more than 5 minutes. Here's the juicy stuff:

Could this mean nothing happens after you die? - crowbarred, on 10/10/2007, -2/+104dont let the government know this ... they will want to tax you twice
- EntropyMan, on 10/10/2007, -1/+81It's really interesting, and I didn't know it. But according to my wife (who is a neuroscientist), this has been known for decades. The fact that doctors are only now beginning to realize, "Hey! Don't give them oxygen when they've been deprived for 10+ minutes" is more of a testament to how slowly clinical medicine adapts to science.
- stevensj2, on 10/10/2007, -2/+74Yeah....but is the rez sickness worth it?
75% loss to all stats...no thanks. - Wingnut233, on 10/10/2007, -1/+67The part where you train them to tap dance and sing "putting on the ritz".
- MerryMortician, on 10/10/2007, -2/+60hey it works for pets too!!! I saw that movie!
- bobbybobington, on 10/10/2007, -2/+54See, there's a big difference between mostly dead, and all dead. Now, mostly dead: he's slightly alive. All dead, well, with all dead
-Miracle Max - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+47congratulations, you have been reincarnated as you!
- vertinox, on 10/10/2007, -1/+45The problem with death is that you can't experience first hand your own death. Because you are dead, you simply don't have a brain that is sitting in limbo saying "Damn. Death is boring" or "Hey... This is cool"
Heck... Even if you knew you were dying before hand, you aren't around when you are clinically dead to care one way or another. Having an opinion about something means that your brain is actively functioning. So if someone shot me in the back of the head and I instantly died, I wouldn't care because I'm dead and gone. If I survive, then I'll probably be pissed. When you are dead nothing really matters because you aren't around to care. - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -12/+56what did you think would happen you fly off to heaven? sorry thats it.
- krenzo, on 10/10/2007, -2/+40I like the part about acquiring a taste for brains. It's quite the delicacy.
- MeThePeople, on 10/10/2007, -3/+41the zombie part dosent sound half bad
- SheilaNoya, on 10/10/2007, -7/+43Baindead zombies? Will they automatically be registered as Evangelical Republicans?
- ChileanGoD, on 10/10/2007, -5/+38Easy... all you need is a red star painted on the floor, some candles, some praying and an alive rooster to cut his head off and sprinkle his blood all arround the subject.
- smurf22, on 10/10/2007, -2/+33So it begins.....
I'll be at my mall building a fortress. - miknotnerb, on 10/10/2007, -1/+29Oh god, everyone go out and buy some shotguns.
- nbhagwat, on 10/10/2007, -1/+28are you having some heating problems there?
- withears, on 10/10/2007, -1/+27They're moving this research to Raccoon City for the next phase.
- reddikilowatt, on 10/10/2007, -1/+27And hot lesbian angels eat Philadelphia brand cream cheese.
- Azslande, on 10/10/2007, -3/+27Shotgun... Check Shells... Check Well, my zombie survival kit is ready... don't know about you all...
- subterfuge, on 10/10/2007, -0/+24Chimney repair man: "Oh, *****! Get some water boiling, stat! Only steam cells can save this hearth now . . ."
- cersad, on 10/10/2007, -2/+22Well, since this doctor just essentially proved that cellular death doesn't come around until much later than we originally thought, you could argue that the man wasn't really "dead"--just in a non-responsive state that would, if left alone, lead to death.
- Perkstoph, on 10/10/2007, -0/+19I love how casual this line seems: "After being dead for a few minutes back in May, Bill along with Monica are now back to enjoying their boating life..."
- drizzlelicious, on 10/10/2007, -1/+20Maybe we should redefine "dead"
- EntropyMan, on 10/10/2007, -3/+22Well (they'd say) obviously, the man didn't warrant going to heaven or hell. That right there is your limbo, yep. Pergatory.
- markperia, on 10/10/2007, -1/+20well you either go the ground or be ash. You choose.
- Archon810, on 10/10/2007, -1/+19San Francisco zombies don't need cocktails to be flaming...
- theone3, on 10/10/2007, -0/+18Birth tax? I don't recall accruing any taxable income prior to birth. I did telecommute for a bit, but turned out to be a scam. I know, I know, but I was young, I didn't have experience.
- HillerMylife, on 07/24/2008, -2/+20How so? It does exactly what the title says -- patients who were clinically dead, sometimes for more than half an hour, can be brought, quite literally, back to life.
Or did you really somehow think that doctors found a way to dig up a couple bones and bits of flesh and make it a walking, talking man again? - schweeet, on 10/10/2007, -2/+19So this proves that there's life after death after all? ;)
- runep, on 10/10/2007, -1/+17And so it begins. /me picks up a cricket bat
- hobonetweaver, on 10/10/2007, -0/+15If you think flaming zombies are safer.
- Wisgary, on 10/10/2007, -1/+16Oh *****, everyone start collecting green herbs before the winter comes, and if you find any red ones, COMBINE THEM, they'll be twice as effective. Don't be a bitch and forget to combine them!
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+15Damn it Jim he still has some money in his account. bring him back to life so we can milk the rest!
- turrican, on 10/10/2007, -0/+133. Use him as a minion in your ZOMBIE ARMY.
- MagicCake, on 10/10/2007, -0/+13"...God dammit. What a rip."
- chadillak, on 10/10/2007, -2/+14Technically speaking, wasn't Jesus a zombie?
- Hendrik, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12If you're dead, you're dead. But if you're dead and then not dead, you're alive. ;)
- Goner, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12Dan Rather?
- pault107, on 10/10/2007, -4/+16I feel a bit sorry for KoolKhemist - looking at his comments above, he's genuinely shocked by the possibility that when you die there is nothing.
- msgyrd, on 10/10/2007, -2/+14Why do you need to go anywhere? Why are people obsessed with continuing after life? Life is cool and all, but when it's over, it's over. You don't get to keep playing after you're taken out of the game. There are no super secret levels of existance called Heaven and Hell, you just cease to exist and in a certain amount of time, your body will decompose and people will forget about you. It's not glamorous, but at least it's honest.
- ZigVicious, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12or bus.
- carpespasm, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11you have to pay a tax to be born and die?
- amawg9, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10I've seen worse.
- bib4tuna, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10didnt you read the article? death wont even exist soon! go nuts!!
- Armor1901, on 10/10/2007, -3/+13I wonder what Max Brooks would have to say about this.
