Ok, last week it was zombie cockroaches and this week it’s zombie mice? Scientists working for the Pentagon have found a way to put mice into a not-quite-alive, not-quite-dead state. The mice stop breathing, stop bleeding, but are still alive and can be re-animated. They are working on finding a way to do this to humans so that they can save lives when someone undergoes massive trauma.

Read that again - the US government is working on a way to create human zombies. Isn’t this basically the plot of The Return of the Living Dead?

Thanks to Jef for the link!

This sounds like something out of a science fiction novel but scientists recently discovered a species of wasp that zombifies cockroaches. Once stung, the cockroach looses it’s free will and the wasp will actually lead the slaved cockroach to its nest were it will be eaten by larvae. Gross stuff but fascinating at the same time. The wasp uses a chemical that blocks certain chemical receptors in the brain. If this is possible in insects, could human zombies be far behind?
