Yes, fundamentalists. Like the ones who oppose stem cell research. Stem cell research is that parallel that you do not see. Stem cells will very likely cure some of the nastier varieties of cancer in the coming decades, though some would argue at the cost of this "destruction of potential life." Of course, if I'm smart and I wear a rubber, the same argument could be made for my actions (I'm contributing more to art than science here, though).Samurai Goomba said:I don't see the parallel between the destruction of potential life and a serum which can be used to save lives.funguy2121 said:Don't forget, hospitals are bringing people back to life within minutes of "death" on a regular basis now.

Unless you were just lashing out at fundamentalists in general. In which case, may I congratulate you on choosing a website where everyone will agree with your opinion.
You're all forgetting sleep. Heart rate slows down when you sleep, deep sleep even more. Comatose more than that. Dropping someone down to that state from a heightened adrenaline rush can't hurt. In theory.fix-the-spade said:More serious brain related question...
What effect would stopping blood flow have on the brain? I thought that if you starve the brain of oxygen you have 2minutes at the very most before you end up in permanent serious brain damage territory.
It'll be no good keeping someone alive for ten hours if you're going to wake them up into a state where they either die very quickly anyway or wish they had in the first place.
Eh, they've probably thought of that already, no doubt the solution's ingenius.
