Inside zombie brains: Sci-fi teaches science

      Wow so basically this CNN article is about how zombies could exist. The guy who figured this out is a doctor who graduated Harvard and other prestigous medical schools. He has published a zombie apocolypse book using his theories.
      He said that a virus could be genetically engineered that deteriorates the brain so that only the part that controls the basic body functions, such as eating and breathing, remains. Therefore the infected body can no longer reason or think logically. The only thing that it thinks about is survival, in other words it only thinks of food and because the part of the brain that tells a human when it has eaten enough is deteriorated it doesnt ever stop eating. Also the part of the brain that deals with cordination is gone so it has a hard time walking. A mathmatician  figured out that if one Zombie was released in a city with a population of 500,000, it would take only 7 days for everyone to be either killed or transformed into a zombie.
      Sooo, umm i think that this is very creepy and terrifying. I mean sitting on a couch at home and killing zombies in Call of Duty is one thing but this is something totally different. I would be TERRIFIED!!!!!!!!!!! What do you think?

  1. I wonder why he even started researching such a thing? It seems very odd to me. I think his time could be better utilized.

    But I guess he will sell a few books with this idea.
