      I THINK IT CAN! There have been a few attempts at Zombie dogs… here is a link to a New York Times newspaper article about them (note: if you get nightmares, don’t read this story http://www.nytimes.com/2005/12/11/magazine/11ideas_section4-21.html?_r=0). Researchers were able bring some dogs back from a state of clinical death. Earlier, the in 1940’s, similar experiments were carried out in Russia. The goal of this type of research would be to help someone who has a severe injury in A&E, and give doctors more time to repair damage. Science is pretty crazy sometimes!!! 🙂
