Research and Reasons February 8, 2010

My major research question as it stands is just a very basic idea.  Can zombies exist, and if so, what would a zombie be like in reality.  I’ve read fictional works about zombies and played the games that helped spawn the recent craze in my opinion.  From what I gather of these experiences, we know a lot about something that we don’t think exist.  I think that zombies are simply amazing just in the aspect that they are “brought back” from the dead.

    I think that a virus that infects, kills, and reanimates it’s host in one day is unreal.  Can a virus even infect and kill a human in one day?  Another question, where did the myth of the zombie come from?  What was the reason?  Maybe it existed.  I believe that zombies can exist.  If the virus doesn’t exist then how can one be created.  How do we define what makes a zombie?  Have there been any attempts at zombification?  I may have to change my direction on this research.
