Scientists revive brain function in dead pigs

She said researchers had inadvertently created an ethical grey area where the pigs used were “not alive, but not completely dead.”

Dominic Wilkinson, professor of medical ethics at the University of Oxford, said that the study could have vital implications for future brain research.

“This research reminds us that ‘death’ is less an event, and more of a process that occurs over time,” he said.

“Cells within the human organism may be alive for some period of time after the human person has died.”

Zvonimir Vrselja, also at Yale School of Medicine’s Department of Neuroscience, said the team planned to use their support system on dead brains for longer periods of time in order to see how the cells react.

“We could potentially get some insight into how these brains could be saved,” he told AFP.

Why would beards be any germier than scalps and head hair? Also what are these bearded guys from the study like? If they just can't be bothered to take care of themselves then that's different to the guys who are oiling, balming, washing and blow drying regularly. I would expect such men to have germier faces but they would have germier fingernails and hands (which they then rub through their beards?) bellends and mouths as well (bet they don't floss).

I'm not sure about this to be honest.

Keep on bearding I say.

I'd venture a guess and say because we touch our faces more. As a dirty bearded man, I touch my face/beard a lot.

I've heard that before and I don't see why you'd touch your face more than your head. I don't touch mine other than when I wash or use balm because I don't want to mess it up or pull hairs out.

Sounds like a dirty hands thing tbh.
