I ask because I wanted to use the photo of Robert Cornish and Lazarus for a teaching project for the National Library of Medicine. Do you own the copyright for Modern Mechanix?

As the experiment indicates, there is some degree of brain damage after the revival which in a human would be amplified as we rely more on the full functioning of our brains than dogs or many other less complex animals. Anyway, teh clinical definition of dead has been changed since then. Death is now defined as when your brain stops functioning. At that point there really is no return without profound damage. Even with the most advanced technology that we can imagine today, there is no way of restoring dead neurons, so even if you were able to bring someone back to life even if their brain had stopped working for a few seconds, they would most likely be in a coma or semiconscious at best. this is still a LONG way off from bringing humans back to life.

White, as well as that of the Russian scientists who used oxygenated chemicals in the blood of dogs to revive them from the dead. The advances in science are getting all the more closer to that age old tale of Prometheus Unbound. What the alchemists dreamed of over a thousand years before, are occuring all the time today (invetro-fertilization; among other things). IF only Mary Shelley was alive today to see that the world is full of Victor Frankenstein's, but its only been until recently that the public has learned of experiments done over 75 years ago.

You've got some great stuff here! I did want to comment on the revival story, since Prelinger Archives (an open source for archival films) actually has an old 1940s short called the Experiments in the Revival of Organisms. http://www.archive.org/details/Experime1940 It is not for the squeamish or the hardcore animal lover as it shows in graphic detail how Russian scientists used artificial respirators and recycled blood to bring dogs (and dog parts) back to life. A fascinating short! Cheers, Butch R. Cleaver Hi there,
