U.S. Scientists Create Zombie Dogs

@ 2005/06/27
U.S. scientists have managed to revive dead dogs to life, by using a technique similar to cryogenation, in which the dogs' blood was drained and replaced by a cold, saline liquid. A couple of hours, their blood was replaced, and an electric shock brought them back to life with no brain damage. The technology will be tested on humans within the next year.

Although if it is indeed true deep space travel, is the first practical applicattion which comes to mind.
