Science Behind REVIVAL After DEATH
In the early 1900s, some shocking experiments were done on dogs to see if a dead creature could be brought back to life. One of these experiments involved a dog’s severed head, connected to a machine that worked like a heart and lungs. The head responded to certain stimuli, like when acid was placed on its face, and it started licking it. It even reacted to light and sound, suggesting it was not only alive but aware of its surroundings.
But how is this possible? How could a dead dog show signs of life with just a machine providing blood and oxygen? And has this ever been tried on humans? Today, we’ll dive into these experiments and what they reveal about reviving the dead.
In situations where someone is hurt or dying, like after a murder or accident, people often hesitate, thinking there’s no point in acting if the person is already dying. But how much time is there to save someone from death? Can we bring someone back to life even after they have died? This Post will answer these questions and teach important life-saving skills you can use in emergencies.
The fear of death is one of the greatest fears. In the past, scientists tried some frightening experiments to bring people back to life after death. Nowadays, these experiments would be considered cruel and are illegal, but a hundred years ago, things were different.
The Soviet Union and the Obsession with Death
Between 1914 and 1923, Russia went through a period of great turmoil. First, it got involved in World War I, losing millions of soldiers. Then, a civil war broke out, killing millions more. After that, a severe famine struck, causing even more deaths. It’s estimated that 15-20 million Russians died during this time. To cope with these mass deaths, the Soviet government implemented policies to improve living conditions, but many scientists remained obsessed with understanding death.
During this period, Soviet scientists became fascinated with the idea of death. They wrote books and articles with titles like “What is Death?” and “Death and Revival.” One scientist, Georgil Shor, even suggested creating a new scientific field called “Thanatology,” named after the Greek god of death, to study death more deeply.
Experiments to Bring the Dead Back to Life
Two scientists became famous for their efforts to revive the dead: Sergei Brukhonenko from the Soviet Union and Robert Cornish from the United States.
Robert Cornish tried to revive the dead using a giant seesaw. He tied a body to the seesaw and injected chemicals to thin the blood. Then he moved the seesaw up and down, hoping to circulate blood throughout the body with the help of gravity. His idea was that the blood would carry oxygen to the brain and other organs, potentially bringing the person back to life. However, this experiment didn’t work on humans. When he tried it on five recently dead dogs, only two were revived.
Sergei Brukhonenko’s method was more scientific. He invented a machine called the “autojector,” which could mimic the heart and lungs. The machine had two pumps: one to remove deoxygenated blood and another to pump oxygenated blood back into the body. In one experiment, he removed all the blood from a dog, waited for 10 minutes, and then used the autojector to revive it. The dog came back to life, proving that his method could work, though the revived animals only lived for a short time.
What Happens When We Die?
To understand if someone can be brought back to life after death, we need to understand the process of dying. Death is not a single event but a process with several stages:
- Shock: This is the initial stage where the body goes into shock after severe trauma or blood loss. The body tries to keep the brain, heart, and lungs alive by sending all the remaining blood to these organs.
- Hypovolemic Shock: If blood loss continues, there isn’t enough blood to supply oxygen to the organs, causing confusion, rapid breathing, and finally, unconsciousness.
- Clinical Death: If the heart stops beating due to lack of blood, this is known as clinical death. At this stage, there is usually a 10-minute window in which doctors can try to restart the heart using a defibrillator or CPR. If the heart doesn’t restart, the person moves to the final stage.
- Biological Death: This is when brain cells begin to die due to a lack of oxygen, and the body and organs start to shut down. After this stage, it is usually impossible to bring the person back to life.
Can Science Bring People Back from the Dead?
There have been cases where people were revived after clinical death, even after 45 minutes, using methods like CPR and defibrillation. However, the longer someone is clinically dead, the less likely they are to recover without brain damage.
In emergencies, like heart attacks or accidents, knowing CPR can significantly increase a person’s chances of survival. It involves pressing on the chest to keep blood circulating until medical help arrives.
Conclusion
Understanding the stages of death and how to respond in emergencies can help save lives. While modern science has advanced, bringing people back from death remains challenging. Knowing what to do in those critical moments can make a big difference in saving someone’s life.
