Zombie experiments...

    If you captured a Zombie or three, what experiments would you like to carry out?

    I'd like to check what flesh a zombie has preference for. For example, if some animals scent could put them off human. Obvious choices include pig, lamb, cow, etc.

    I'd also like to check how fast water and saltwater degrades their body.

    You?

    Just poke it with a stick for a couple of hours, they look sticky....

    Tie one to a bungie cord and stand just out of reach. BOING.

    I know it's pretty gruesome, but I think I would experiment on the best ways to kill them. You never know there might be something that is poisonous to them but not to us.

    I suppose, for humanitys sake, I'd try to find a cure. Of course lacking any medical qualifications that might be tricky. If I could round up 22 of them I'd get a game of ball going. Try to crack the age old question, can zombies play the offside trap? Or social experiment might be more appropriate; can another 3 million zombies pass a No vote.

    i'd like to see what happens if you get one stoned. will it slow their movements? will it pacify them somewhat? will it affect their metabolism? do they prefer to eat it or smoke it? all really important questions that need answered.

    A cure for death?

    Not sure it'd work... they don't really have a metabolism, per se...

    I'd test what kind of potent fragence I could put on myself so the zombie wouldn't get the urge to chew on me. Yes, I'll go as far as smearing myself with poo to see if it'll stop them paying attention to me (ironic, eh?)..........all in the name of humanity.

    I'll cut the zombie open and feed him his own stomach, just for shìts & giggles!

    Swap his arms and legs around thus giving him legs for arms & arms for legs, see how he adjusts.

    Inject all sorts of wacky stuff into him, colour-dye into his eye would be an interesting one.

    Inject some nasty stuff into his head to see how big it can inflame.

    Can you knock a zombie out? Punching him constantly in the back of the head, shovel over the head, drop an anvil on his head......you know, cartoony stuff!

    Chop off the top half of his head to see if he can still survive.

    Carve them up, grab some non-zombie hostages and see if there's a way to make the zombie meat safe to eat.

    *queue weird zombie accent*
    In mother Ireland humans eat you.:p

    There should be no reason to capture a Zombie

    Its about survival people, SURVIVAL

    A reprogramming maybe but why not a cure for death too? We are discussing the probability of getting our hands on a few zombies here. Why dont we go all out start the thread over again with 'If you had a Holodeck and you could have zomies in it..'.

    A good survivalist gathers as much data as possible.

    what if our friend above figured out a scent that would stop zombies smelling you? How useful would that be to survival?

    But what about ethical standards? Should we be experimenting on Zombies? Do not Zombies have human (or post-human) rights?

    Is there someone from Amnesty International and Friends of the earth who might be able to shed some light on this thorny moral issue?

    They'll be the first infected come Z day. Zombies favourite taste is not in fact brains, but irony. :)
