My take? It sounds barbaric, but at least they brought the dogs back to life, not like those unlucky monkeys they taught to smoke.

I'm glad they're working all the kinks out now. The last thing I want to hear as I close my eyes, bleeding to death from a gunshot wound, is "...oops...".

But can you teach an old dog new tricks?

My friend who lives in the Ancoats area of Manchester believes so...

The biggest problem with freezing humans is that the cells tend to form ice crystals which damage the body. NOW, they can use this new method and freeze a person without rupturing the cells.

Kinda makes me wonder about things...

Does a DOG have a soul? 😲

If we die and then they bring us back to life... well, where does that leave our soul?

God Fed Ex's the soul back to your body in the nick of time. Or you wind up a zombie. Tough question.

Someone should take this to the spirituality forum and advent future use of this technology on aborted fetuses.
