[Cerebral Stasis]

First of all, that case in which the blood was drained from the patient's body was to operate on a bloated vein in the patient's brain. In order to keep the vein from bursting during the operation, they cooled his body to a certain temperature at which his body functions slowed down (the brain can normally survive only a few minutes without blood before perminant damage occurs; when cooled as was done, it can last over an hour), and then they drained all the blood and performed the operation, returning the blood when it was complete (they did NOT pump him full of any saline solutions).

Second, I can't help but wonder if this news.com.au thing is a hoax; look at their archive of other articles:

Plus, there are no other major news websites covering this; just a bunch of obscure websites and forums basically ripping off or linking to this article; something this big definately would be all across the major news websites by now.

(Smiles at the sensbility Stastis has used)
Stastis, although I would usually say a person who posted this kind of thing that they were wrong, you have supplied too much evidence that this is, in fact, another deliberate hoax. Science has been unable to create such a possibilty as of yet. (And one of the biggest questions we ask is, will they ever? )

This just goes to show that you can't believe everything that you read (even if it is in the news - media DOES lie, sorry to say). You should think about the story that you are about to post is plausible before you post it.

But while we're on this matter, what do you think life'd be like if all this HAD been true?

I think that it is really amazing that humans can bring dead creatures back 2 life themselves.This is the starting of a new era where science,technology and human can work hand in hand to achive something big and useful.Its great that what had not been possible until yesterday could be achieved and it really shows that humans' knowledge and abilities have grown to a wide range and we should really be proud of that.And finally in my opinion I think this new discovery will help improve our knowledge of science and that nobody is playing God.-reply by Ella
