Warning: This video contains actual footage of a severed dog head, kept alive. Watch at your own peril.

[Annalee] over at io9.com has gathered together the 25 scariest science experiments. There are some truly frightening pieces, like the cyborg beetles which we’ve seen before, all the way to silly stuff like the guy who re grew his thumb using pig powder. Next time you’re thinking of admonishing someone for creating a flamethrower, or a super fast scooter, consider for a moment that they’re not burning peoples nasal passages to stop masturbation or creating zombie severed dog heads like the one in the video above.

Talking about phantom limbs More like Phantom body. And Man that must be painful. Very cool however.

“Zombie” dog heads? Only if you call people on heart and lung bypass machines during surgery zombies. The dog experiments were legit science and paved the way for current open heart surgeries.

i didn’t know that hackaday was 4chan now that’s fucked up, i mean seriously i can understand if it was just a guy talking about it and the diagrams but actual video footage of the dog head? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU HACKADAY

@ displeased reader,
sorry, it didn’t occur to me that this would be upsetting to our readers. An obvious oversight on my part. I’ve now added a warning.

Posted at 12:17 pm on Nov 4th, 2009 by Caleb Kraft

Awesome clip!! Shoulda been posted on the 31st though, would have been much more fitting!

Posted at 12:24 pm on Nov 4th, 2009 by steve-o

Yeah, real life scientific experiments are scary and bad. They should be banned and burned, just like books!

Sorry, couldn’t help myself. I honestly am not sure if the comparison of Hack a Day to 4chan was for real, but either way, it was good for a laugh.

looks like the video continues. i’d like to see this zombie dog in action!

I like the two tags you chose: masturbation and scary. You don’t want to mix those two things up!

I thought this was a hoax? This same “scientist” had video of a lung “breathing” outside of a body, which can’t happen.

@barry,
I recall reading something about that ages ago. Got any more info? I don’t know about you guys, but I would be kind of happy to find out this was a hoax.

I call shenanigans. The dogs head looked like it moved more due to neck and shoulder muscles. Does a dog lick it’s nose due to stimulus?

Ok, now put the dog back together. A Hackers not worth much if they can’t put a hacked device back to working order.

Posted at 1:10 pm on Nov 4th, 2009 by Kyle

That’s crazy. With the lungs, were they just pumping air in and out to oxygenate blood?

I imagine there are videos in a vault somewhere of soviet scientists running their heart-lung bypass machine with a whole dog, or even a person…

@barry: these experiments can’t be fake because modern surgery is based on them. They actually did all this.

stop

hackaday used to be a good site, that featured hacks. you know, re purposing things, building things.

now its all how to steal from google books or oh hey look, someone cut off a dogs head.

We should have a way to vote on articles, or maybe color code them as to authors so we can only read articles written by people we enjoy reading.

Posted at 1:37 pm on Nov 4th, 2009 by James

The video is just partially fake. Lung and heart bypass experiments make sense.

The decapitated dog head is questionable as they don’t go into the details. Metabolically they don’t mention a cleaning out the metabolic waste produced by cells (kidney/liver is missing). Also the part where the mouth moves is a little disturbing. There are a lot of muscles required to perform those actions, the dog head doesn’t even moved. There seems to be some anchor (like the rest of the dog body).

Posted at 1:46 pm on Nov 4th, 2009 by partially.fake

I’m assuming this is the video of the Russian scientist’s work (there was an American scientist named White who accomplished a similar experiment by grafting the head of a live dog onto another dog’s shoulder kinda like the Greek myth of Cerberus). I looked into this a bit and what most people have concluded is that the results he claimed in his research papers are, probably, true but that the movie itself was staged by Soviet propaganda agents to exaggerate the success and win “points” during the cold war. My understanding is that the real dog head wasn’t quite as responsive and didn’t live quite as long as the video claims.

Posted at 1:48 pm on Nov 4th, 2009 by colecoman1982

Forgot to mention that I haven’t, actually, watched the video as I feel it’s probably a little inappropriate to watch at work.

oh man, i was looking into this stuff back in September on wikipedia. all the morbid experiments that the Germans, Japanese, and Soviets did were disturbingly interesting. the only problem is, i forgot what the terms i was looking up where… messed up stuff… but interesting nonetheless.

Posted at 2:47 pm on Nov 4th, 2009 by morbid curiosity

I don’t know what you guys are talking about. Creating body parts is the ultimate hack. If it actually worked, awesome. I doubt it would work for very long. It would need insulin and various other hormones. The blood might start coagulating in their air mixer device, and wouldn’t that suck to have cold blood going through your arteries.

Posted at 3:07 pm on Nov 4th, 2009 by Jack Sprat

someone called me??… huh?’..

okay… so come on!… this is interesting but… come on… I’ve seen a guy getting decapitated a dude torn in half, a dismembered girl… but this… this is just plain sad, if you’re going to “hack a head”, at least do it with a human, not with a completely innocent animal… plus maybe you can get the guy to talk about how he feels.

I’m sorry Caleb, but I don’t think this is the right blog to post this kind of stuff.

now… I’ll be back to hacking the penny in the door machine.

Posted at 3:22 pm on Nov 4th, 2009 by monkeyslayer56

Fake! Apparently the experts don’t think it could move its head if it was severed. However, a heart lung machine was developed by the Russians, so I imagine there’s a few dead science dogs out there.

therian : Do rats inherently have less a right to life than dogs or is it just because you decided so ? (Personally I’m fine with this. It’s a fallacy to believe medicine can advance without in vivo experiments)

While a head without a body is cool, a body without a head is even cooler. Especially when the animal survives without any apparent problem (fed by its owner) for 18 month. That’s the famous Mike, the headless chicken:

Its easy to hack body parts… all you need is a hatchet and then get out the trusty “autojector mk2″ hook it up to the artery and veins and your away…

no arduino needed :P

Posted at 4:30 pm on Nov 4th, 2009 by The Hatchet

Therian it’s cruel and unusual to do that to any animal. I don’t like to see a dog like that either, but you will end up doing something sick no matter what. That’s just a given. The catholic church did experiments trying to graft monkey heads or some shit like that. With barbarously prehistoric equipment no less. Maybe modern experiments should be done on war criminals (I guess that would be stooping too far though.).

Posted at 4:34 pm on Nov 4th, 2009 by mic

I do believe that the head part is fake and could easily be reproduced to make soviet science look advanced. However, the lung and heart bypasses do seem to be real.

I got this movie clip off a friend a while ago and watched it. Pretty crazy if it’s real!

Posted at 5:25 pm on Nov 4th, 2009 by Matt Downer

As entertaining as it is, the video is fake. The dogs body is recessed under the table (an old carnival trick) with some fur off to the side to cover the hole. If the head had been severed, it would not have the range of motion that is being exhibited. The tongue would not work as well as it is being shown to do. I don’t believe that the face would respond as it did either. The dog appears to have been sedated. The “experiments” that they are performing actually disprove its authenticity.

I am curious to know what is in the special sauce.

@vic
“Do rats inherently have less a right to life than dogs or is it just because you decided so ? ”

at least rats not as intelligent as dogs. And Dogs are most intelligent animals we have around (well I don’t think many of us have dolphins or monkeys as pets). Rats dont serve in army, they dont sacrifice themself in arctic cold to heat with their body heat lost person in snow which they found before rescue team. Rats dont guar owner grave for 5 years. Rats don’t give their live to save human family member from atteck or go against their nature instincts and protect cattle.
And rats don’t conciser us as
their family/herd

so yes it better to sacrifice for cience rats than someone who accept human to their own herb and tread him as family member.

Posted at 5:58 pm on Nov 4th, 2009 by therian

what is with all the hate people? this is cool science stuff that paved the way for the lives we live today. all the people comparing hack a day to 4chan obviously clicked a link to hack a day by accident hoping to see a severed dog’s head. if the dog’s head is actually severed the video conveniently does not show how the tubes and machine are connected to the dog’s head. and as others have said, the head would not move as much as it did if it was just laying on a table not connected to a body.

now if we could shrink the machine down to a backpack size, put it on the backs of deceased manual labor workers, obviously with a micro-controller interfaced to the brain for control, we could have cheaper labor than we have now but with a whole lot better quality of work.

Posted at 6:24 pm on Nov 4th, 2009 by inginear

So you’re saying intelligence is a good criteria to judge one’s right to live. Interesting.

You got me on cattle-herding rats though. I could not find a single example.

The thing is like life support, that can keep you “breathing” and your heart pumping. It is kinda odd that the dog was not yelping out in pain when its head was there though? Wonder if the brain was “alive” at that point.

Posted at 7:57 pm on Nov 4th, 2009 by XMaster1

XMaster1, the dogs head cannot make a sound, no lungs!!! and yes this is cruel.

Posted at 8:36 pm on Nov 4th, 2009 by TheFish

forgot to add, yes this is cruel but it has helped medical science, and this is kinda like running an engine out side of a car, or running a cpu across the table from your motherboard.

Posted at 9:49 pm on Nov 4th, 2009 by Sahal

btw, to all of you talking about the dog being in pain:
if you look at the youtube page (and they mention it a few times in part 2), the dog and a half they use are under heavy sedation so they don’t feel pain.

@thefish
quite right, they cannot bark at all. no air passing through the vocal chords, so they can’t make sounds

Mr. Sugar Coat Retard go kill you grandma, she isn’t more important or worthy than cockroach you step on yesterday, and don’t forget to kill all those annoying babies you see on your way to grandma

“So you’re saying intelligence is a good criteria to judge one’s right to live. Interesting.”
That why we don’t eat monkeys dolphins and other humans, the more animal intelligent the more it like us and related to us and the more closer to cannibalism it will be for us.

Let’s say you captured by terrorist and at gun point to you head you have to point on map one house which they will bomb. Which house you pick ? Your own, good neighbors/friends or someone random who you don’t relate to?
Well the dogs are those good neighbors/friends. Dogs become more close to humans than any animal.
So if medical experiment has to be done, it can be done on rats, cows, pigs, what ewer just not on FRIENDS
And if you don’t see the logic why dogs are worst choice for doing such cruel experiments you are retarded

Posted at 2:43 am on Nov 5th, 2009 by liebesiech

Fake/dishonest/junk science:

1. The lung isn’t “breathing”. It is being inflated and deflated by external air pressure. They happen to be forcing blood through the lungs using a pump while this is going on.

2. The heart is also being pumped with external pumps forcing blood into it. It is not beating on it’s own in any way.

3. A sudden loss in blood pressure in the head = instant unconsciousness. Even if you were to revive the dog, it would be in shock/incredible pain. If you numbed the dog first, it would not react to stimuli. If you didn’t numb it, it would pass out from the pain if not die from it.

4. We cannot keep alive humans with multiple organ failure even now. Brain dead bodies can be kept alive, but functioning heads with destroyed internal organs cannot be kept alive. If they could do this back then, why can’t we do that to humans waiting for organ transplants now?

5. This is soviet Russia right? They would have tested this on political prisoners before trying it on a dog.

6. How has no one made a Futurama joke? I’ll go. Why wasn’t this dog head cast for Futurama? Because they already had the severed head of Lucy Liu.

I know it’s not great, but at least I’m trying.

Interestingly enough I actually want to devils-advocate that it’s possible this video was created as propaganda to make one believe someone had some breakthrough that would essentially keep us ‘zombies’. I immediately thought of how US may have faked the moon landing in efforts to scare others that we made some vast accomplishment during wartime. Political hacking?

100% FAKE – if you study biology you should knwo than brain dies after 5 minutes without oxygen, only a few parts works -BUT THEY DON’T HAVE CONNECTION – it’s like motherboard without cpu ;)
So that’s all about soviet propaganda ;)

Posted at 5:37 am on Nov 5th, 2009 by madmax

@madmax
You should also know that the USSR was working on cooling bodies to lengthen the time until cell death about the same time. You could get a brain to survive quite a lot longer than 5 minutes with that method.
I believe the experiments to be real.

I find this hack extremely disgusting.

Though I understand the reasons for conducting live animal testing, and how medical science benefits from this, I simply can’t see how the editorial staff of hackaday.com could find it a good idea to publish this revolting experiment.

Your contents are slacking. I see an increase in random gadget articles, a decrease in good hacks and I see this article as a pathetic attempt to generate a visitor increase in terms of some perverted “Ripleys believe it or not” effect.

This article has settled my mind. Hack a day will no longer be one of the sites I will visit during my morning coffee.

Your bad editorial efforts have just costed another reader.

In the movie “crank 2″ there is a scene where there is a human head being kept alive in an aquarium.

Now, I know where they got it from.

Also, there are people who have just their heads frozen in cryostasis in the hopes that one day science will be advanced enough to regrow their bodies and cure their diseases.

ok hold up, reality check, perhaps not the site for the vid but on the other hand, “someone” had to do this, you,me and at least 40% of the human population wouldn’t be alive if experiments like this didn’t happen. so what if it “might be” doctored no pun intended. the first human to do a successful heart transplant didn’t one day decide he was just going to try it for shits and giggles. Experiments like this happen every day in every advancing society. Put aside the ethics and perception factor we have today, this was done in a time where HBM’s were non existent. The idea to recirculate blood with a machine had to start somewhere. so yea, it was a hack, perhaps not in the context that is normally displayed here but to take something alive dog/cat/human whatever, remove its vital organs and attach it to a mechanical pump that looks like a hack to me. I feel sorry for the pup but most of us here wouldn’t have done it,I sure wouldn’t have, I’m glad the soviet’s had the idea but am sure somewhere in the USA some Dr did the same thing but we just haven’t seen it posted to youtube yet :-)

In the interests of disclosure, let me admit that I love all animals, particularly dogs. My last dog died of cancer, and when he finally did, I was there with him, holding him in my arms. Yes, I cried.

I, too, think that the dog head experiment disgusting and of dubious scientific value. It is disturbing and should raise some questions about what constitutes legitimate “experimentation” where animals are concerned.

But having said all that, you people who are whining about this Hackaday post need to grow up.

There is no constitutional right to freedom from being offended. That is the price you pay for a society that allows for free expression and the free exchange of news, information, and ideas. Nobody requires you to read Hackaday or anything posted on this site.

I respect the fact that you regard this material as offensive and inappropriate for your consumption. But by demanding that this sort of thing never appear on Hackaday, your are taking it upon yourself to judge *for me* what is inappropriate for *my* consumption. Frankly, that’s not your right, and not your business to do.

Little children and psychologically retarded adults benefit from censorship. Mature, normally-adjusted adults do not.

As long Hackaday warns in the post of potentially disturbing content to follow, they’ve discharged their duty to mature, normally-adjusted adult readers.

I have said this before in regard to the “that’s not a hack” trolls. No web site, not even Hackaday, can be all things to all people. If you don’t like what you see here, leave or start your own site. If enough people do that, then the operators of Hackaday will have to make the strategic decision to either change their direction, or keep going the way they are. The readers will decide if they made the correct decision on the basis of their web traffic. This is how the free market works.

Posted at 11:38 am on Nov 5th, 2009 by pookeye

Granted, the dog head (if in fact detached) experiment gives me the chills. We’re wired to react emotionally to violated organisms. But, as others have said, such hacks are the stuff from which medical technology is built. I think the issue here is that many of the commenters aren’t often – if ever – confronted with examples of biological research.

If you have a serious objection to the dog in principal (rather than because it upset your lunch while idly surfing), you’re r-e-a-l-l-y not going to like some of the things Walter Reed was up to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Reed#Biography

Hahaha holy shit what a bunch of fucking pussies. It’s a goddamn dog, whining about how “OMG CRUEL” it is doesn’t make a dick of difference; the dog’s dead, the scientists are dead, it doesn’t fucking matter–nobody wants to hear your moral bitching, it’s pointless.

I worked with this electrician named Ruud.
He told about the time had to measure the voltage of the distribution cable (the cable delivering power to the homes, i don’t know the proper english jargon). He was in a ditch measuring the voltage, it was raining, the foreman was being nervous and kept on insisting to speed everything up. In all this commotion Ruud dropped one of the measuring leads and it made a short circuit. The cable transported more than a 100 Amps, a short circuit will go up to 10 times the normal amperage.

Next thing he was holding the skin of the left part of his face in his hand. He didn’t faint he still wished he had.

Now try to imagine the pain that dog has been forced to endure.

Wow,Someone went to an awful lot of effort to create this fake video.As pointed out earlier the heart isn’t beating,the lungs aren’t breathing and the rest of the dog is under the table.The head clearly isn’t severed as the muscles that control the lips wrap around the head and down the shoulders of the animal.Add to that the obvious overlay of the words “citric acid” on the bottle and it is plainly a fake. I doubt very much that it is even a Russian video.

HACKADAY: RIP
2001-2009

Caleb, in ancicent times when men had failed as badly as you, they would throw themselves on thier swords. I would suggest everyone just shifts over to hackedgadgets from now on.

I have supported hackaday since the start, this posts marks the last time I will view this site.

Dig the article. Dogs are awesome, but the value of such research is indisputable, and the premise is definitely an epic hack.

Too bad the brain also requires glucose, H2O and white blood cells, the notion that dog would survive longer then a few hours is preposterous.

If it got an infection from the surgery to remove its…..body it would die, if it had an infection prior to the surgery it would run rampant in the dogs brain until death.

The eyes would dry out, swallowing would trigger horrifically painful muscular contractions in the esophagus.

Dehydration would cause the dog to hallucinate.

All of this, while easily called torture, paved the way for medical treatment today, including heart / lung bypass machines and open heart surgery.

A black past makes for a bright future?

OK we got dog heads, mind control, cannibalism, 4chan, politics and we got a lot of opinions.
But guys we forgot ONE important thing…
The… ILLUMINATI!! Because combining electronics and satanic-occultism is just too awesome.

Gabriel: “Hey look, I connected the AVR to the slave girl!”
Kabbal: “Wow, lets make her sacrifice her sister on the altar! It is time anyway.”
Gabriel: “Do you think she will be smarter if we switch to Linux?”
Kabbal: “NOO, dumb girls are sexy!”
Dark Priest: “Stop that! I told you we have to finish the H1N1 project!, you know those are orders from above!”

Sooo…ahhh whatca think they keep that hammer around for.?. Just to create auditory stimulus?? Perhaps. I most certainly hope not. Hammers have many other uses in medical settings. ;O!
