Russian Science video - Reviving a severed dog's head.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kiq3K_26MWc


Now, I've read that there have been real experiments like this and that the video could be a recreation of said experiments, (via wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Experiments_in_the_Revival_of_Organisms ) but how probable is it that this video is real? Really the only technical problem I see is that the dogs head twitches and/or moves without having a spinal cord and muscles to move his head. Could it be a twitch reaction or is it impossible for a dogs head to move after its been severed?

 

Freaky yet god dam interesting, if itr is real, though it might not be, it is one hell of an experiment, though, perhaps it is chemical memory and physlogical movements and reactions but with no conscience or mental activity, the brain is dead, but the nervers and motor neurones are active allowing movement and reactions to occur, but im not scientist... One hell of a find Divine, you mad scientist you...

 

I was mildly sceptical up until the part when the dog actually lifted it's head... Not possible without something anchoring the neck...

What about the "full body revival"? That machine has to have still contained the better part of the dogs blood. That seems too wrong... Other than that it actually seemed credible.

 

How did the dogs head move...?
Even if it was alive, it was probabily in tremendous pain.

 

Yea, thats pretty much what I was wondering. The experiments depicted in the film however are real and did happen, which is probably the only credibility I would give to the film. Why go ahead and film a reinactment when you could film the actual thing? Unless the scientist who did the experiments wouldnt allow his work to be filmed.

 

Has anyone even thought of the possibilitys of zombies?! O_O *starts setting up a chainlink fence and searches for semi automatic rifle*....*waits for dog zombies*

Very interesting actually! Imagine if they did it with humans though..."Whoa man..i got a huge headache...why can't I move my arms and legs...i cant breathe either wth? ahhH! *turns out to be a severed head*" Can anyone say what the hell did i do last night about that?

 

very very interesting, and i bet it is real, about the head moving, the dog stil has its jaw muscles and it was ancored to the blood feed system.

 

The head itself looks rather fake. Now how they got a head off a dog and kept it clean...

But my main concern is that without a very very acurate system viens pop and other things happen. There are some serious problems that would make this nearly impossible. I would like to think this is fake. Did anybody notice that the Label Citric Acid was moving around on the bottle and was black and not grainy?

 

I can not remember who it was, but a scientist transplanted two monkeys heads from one to the other. They where still alive.
Heavily sedated, clamped etc. but alive.

 

Maybe cause it was written in fine print so you could tell what was in the bottle from the camera hydro?

 

You can find info on that here, along with more info on the dogs severed heads (finally found the link again). http://www.mymultiplesclerosis.co.uk/stranger-than-fiction/head-transplant.html

 

it's mars attacks all over again!

 

The labels was like that because it was in russian (probably) and they superimposed english on top, like when explaining the machinery.

 

Yea, it is dubbed with superimposed english ontop.

 

Or was it a cover up? This is some freaky sh*t in the first place.

 

That makes more sense than what I said...but yeah , FREAKY ****ing ****.
any surgeons here?...I want somone to attach a monkey head to me!

 

Now why would you want that. What is he spit at you?

 

It is real. The dog's lead moves because lying on its side, the jaw acts as a kind of lever pushing against the table surface when it opens. It is possible to keep a dog's head alive and at some basic level of consciousness for at least a while using an external heart-lung machine connected to the four main arteries entering the neck. There was probably some sedation involved.

Heart-lung machines are not such a big deal -- they are used in heart transplant surgery all the time and spliced into the circulation system just as demonstrated in the second part of the film.

 

You know, I don't find this such a big deal... It's not too complex. I mean heck, it was done in the 40s, how complex could it be.

 

there was a documentry on channel 5 nt long ago a Dr was reattaching heads to dogs and monkeys
