What about the thousands of dogs that get destroyed for nothing more than shelter capacity reasons every day?
I know it's sad and dogs are awesome, but if they can help us out in this way that's pretty nice of them.

Here is a list of research articles the resuscitation research center has recently published, more than 40 this year. One experiment on mild therapeutic hypothermia (no less than 35 degrees C) was conducted in a children's hospital on patients with cardiac arrest, which didn't result in a lower (or higher) mortality rate but showed the treatment was feasible.

This actually helped save my grandma's life when she had her heart attack. The doctors radically lowered her body temperature overnight while she was in a drug-assisted/induced coma, giving her brain and heart time to repair while they also assessed damage. They brought her out of the coma after 12 hours, and she (somewhat miraculously) was conscious and had her wits about her (mostly!).

It isn't bringing dogs back to life that I find creepy (although it is weirdly fascinating), but the blood draining and filling with saline? That is very weird.

So when are we going to expand this into freezing people down and colonizing other planets?

This isn't a product per se but it definitely fits in here nevertheless.
Also, it represents a fantastic chance for certain denizens of this very forum to make some spare scratch. You know who you are.
