Consider someone who has just died of a heart attack. His organs are intact, he hasn't lost blood. All that's happened is his heart has stopped beating—the definition of "clinical death"—and his brain has shut down to conserve oxygen. But what has actually died?
As recently as 1993, when Dr. Sherwin Nuland wrote the best seller "How We Die," the conventional answer was that it was his cells that had died. The patient couldn't be revived because the tissues of his brain and heart had suffered irreversible damage from lack of oxygen. This process was understood to begin after just four or five minutes. If the patient doesn't receive cardiopulmonary resuscitation within that time, and if his heart can't be restarted soon thereafter, he is unlikely to recover. That dogma went unquestioned until researchers actually looked at oxygen-starved heart cells under a microscope. What they saw amazed them, according to Dr. Lance Becker, an authority on emergency medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. "After one hour," he says, "we couldn't see evidence the cells had died. We thought we'd done something wrong." In fact, cells cut off from their blood supply died only hours later.
So, I can die, and be revived hours later... Awesome!

Right now they're attempting to use a combination of slow-restart heart procedures (while by-passing brain flow around the heart and to the brain) along with a salt+ice mixture to reduce core body temperature to reduce damage to the cells. Pretty rad shit, I gotta say.
Not that this really has anything to do with the nervous system and midochondria but seriously, how cool is this shit?
A: very
Makes you wonder: When do you really die? If your heart can be stopped for hours and the cells still be fully alive, when are you actually dead?
That's cool, but I don't see a situation in which I might die but blood is still somehow circulating to my brain.

WITH SCIENCE!
or maybe this:
the latest tests show that it could be possible to transplant the testes of a newly dead donor to a sterile man and he'd be able to produce sperm normally.
The tests also show that the child born after such a transplant would, genetically, be the offspring of the original donor.
essentially, you'd be shooting a dead man's load out of your dong.

Shorty after marriage.
It would be like getting a side ache all over your body or something.

And I'd imagine large amounts of tissue would probably still die, so parts of you may fall off.
I'm guessing remove the head or destroy the brain.
seriously though, can't go past fire, and lots of it.

Well
A you can lose approx. 2 pints of blood after being shot at least 14/17 times
Die
be placed in a freezer
Wake up months later knowing your last memory was falling forward and blacking out while attempting to call for help
My favorite part was snapping awake with various life support and monitoring equipment in me
The tubes in your throat are the best feeling to experience because you want to puke and are confused why
You know, looking into the T Virus wouldn't hurt either.
And imagine if you woke up in a womans body!
I'm talking mass zombie eradication. I'm thinking ahead of the game.
Picture a moving tank with armed turrets. You scoop up a load of zombies safely and drop them in the back cargo hold. When you get a big enough load, a chipper-shredder starts. The ground up zombie bits are then taken to an incinerator plant to be burned. The remains are then used as fertilizer to restart the new human civilization. A few fleets of these badboys will clean up the zombies quickly. We'll have to start out in open country. Cities are dangerous due to many zombie hiding locations. We'll probably have to lure them out with bait or something so the zombie trucks can pick them up.

If they transplanted Nolan Ryan's fingers onto your hand, do you think you could throw a 101mph fastball?
Maybe if you mixed in Cyntherea's amazing shooting abilities.
Rodney Moore's baby-sacks do provide the batter.
Like tiberium harvesters, except munching away on fields of zombies.
Oh man, this is going to be awesome
What if I got his whole arm? And legs? And chest muscles? What then??
I think I could do it! But first... I must kill Nolan Ryan...
I do not know who Cyntherea is. Should I?

That's the prostate and the Cowper's gland and some others.

Arsenic makes my point for me.
there's a man who takes pride in his abilities.

I may have misspelled. She's in all the Squirtwoman vids. Basically, female orgasmer extraordinaire.
He doesn't take too much pride in his ability to take it in the ass.
My friend had a GF like that. When we roomed together in college, I came back one weekend and he had his entire bed and nightstand area stripped clean. He was washing the walls and everything. I asked what happened and all he could say is it was like she was hiding a supersoaker up her vag.
I couldn't look at her in the face for two weeks without almost cracking up.
