I am not certain on the veracity of this video but it is fascinating nonetheless. On top of that, it's also quite sad and disturbing!
You will see:
The revival of a disembodied dog's head, heart, and lungs. As well as the revival of of a dog that has been dead for 10 minutes. This all being done in the late 1930's.
Soviet Video: The Revival of Organisms.
If I had my hand in what we discuss, it would be the veracity of the video, the ethics of doing such an experiment, and the impact it has on physiology and medicine today. But that really isn't up to me.

http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/2001-09-13-artificial-heart.htm The first man with an artificial heart died after having it for like 5mnths.
To me as long as they didn't kill the dog to do the experiment, I don't see anything wrong with it.(If it is for real that is) We are always trying to find ways to prolong our lives, I see nothing wrong with that as long as people aren't purposely hurt in the process.
Exactly..:P

"Ethics" when applied to science, is a conservative term used to mean "This is bad".

Depends what your definition of killing the dog is, in the film they sedated it, cut it's artery, then drained it's blood until it was dead. Unless you mean that they revived it in the end, then you'd b supporting the age-old term "The End justifies the means" which isn't true at all but some people believe it is fine and dandy. I don't.
Although this is super cool I don't think it has any real world application, b/c they had to kill the dog first and get it's blood for it to work. I could see it working, though, for soldiers that have died in war where the surgeons sew them back up and all that and put a blood transplant in, that could work. But that isn't covered in the video.
Science is such a wasteful *****. The most economic way to revive a dead dog is to bury it atop an indian burial ground.

I was talking about the head of the dog. :/ As far as the other part, I'm not sure, because some medical techniques used today were first tried on animals, and they save people's lives today.
