I don't think it has been reported terribly well ,reading the whole thing I would not have described it as "creating" Zombie Dogs.  Whether it is ethical may be a matter of opinion which is perhaps going to be clouded by the fact they are using dogs rather than, say, rats or mice but reading to the end of the item where they give further detail about the aims of the project I think many people will not consider it sick and certainly not stupid.

I agree isabel, I don't think that the picture has done it any favours nor the headline they use. But saying that I still don't know what to think on the subject, is it right, is it wrong??? But I will say that if one of my family was badly injured and was saved using this method than I would be forever grateful to the people who had discovered it.

Yes that choice of picture! :eek: They were clearly taking a completely different direction in this story than the actual crux of the matter, suggests to me Australia is, perhaps, blessed with an even more excessive tabloid press than we have :rolleyes:
If you imagine something like this reseach could have, perhaps, enabled the paramedics to have done something in the short term to save the likes of Damilola Taylor or soldiers serving for us in conflict zones I don't see how we can really object I would not like to tell their mothers I did anyway.
