Zombie Pigs First, Hibernating Soldiers Next 193

ColdWetDog writes "Wired is running a story on DARPA's effort to stave off battlefield casualties by turning injured soldiers into zombies by injecting them with a cocktail of one chemical or another (details to be announced). From the article, 'Dr. Fossum predicts that each soldier will carry a syringe into combat zones or remote areas, and medic teams will be equipped with several. A single injection will minimize metabolic needs, de-animating injured troops by shutting down brain and heart function. Once treatment can be carried out, they'll be "re-animated" and — hopefully — as good as new.' If it doesn't pan out we can at least get zombie bacon and spam."

+1 Why is it just assumed that everyone is unhappy with their life? I've got the perfect wife and kids, live in a great house in an awesome town, and have the best job I could ever imagine. I guess I'm either lucky or just dumb; either way I'm stoked about my life. Well, the only thing that _could_ make it better is a victory for Obama in November, IMHO.
