WHAT IF A PERSON IS BRAIN DEAD..????.....but there body is functioning.....

would that be a zombie????

There have been incidents of people being born and living for sometime, with only a brain stem, nothing else.
I wonder what would be the consequences of that, as they get older?
I know its only fiction but in the AMC show, The Walking Dead, the doctor at the CDC ran an MRI on his wife as she underwent the change. The "reanimation" of the brain only happened at the base, just above the stem..

Nicholas Coke was born with a rare condition called anencephaly that caused him to never grow a brain, only a brain stem. Doctors gave him just a few hours to live and miraculously this baby just celebrated his 2nd birthday

All joking aside, I think this position that 'zombie' outbreak is the result of experimentation by the drug cartels has legs. Short summary on Scribd: www.scribd.com...

I live in Texas and I have not noticed anything really abnormal, or more abnormal. The fact that Z-Day could or may happen does not scare me in the typical manner. I mean it is terrifying because you can't reason with "zombies" and from movies and games that I have seen and played, "zombies" tend not to have rational thinking skills. Common talk amongst friends around my side of Houston, (Katy) is that we rather have a dinosaur apocalypse compared to Z-Day. At least with dinosaurs people can find patterns in behavior and know that nocturnal dinosaurs are less likely to roam around during the day and vice versa. I diegress, if a possible cause is beef products, well then that is a HUGE problem for Texas and I had a hamburger on my lunch break . But I will keep my ears to the ground.

now we know: bath-salts were not the trigger of anything zombielike at all, so what the heck was going on?

found this map for "zombie-instances",

checked the links and stumbled on this:

Copeland had contracted a devastating infection called necrotizing fasciitis. It’s nothing short of a nightmare scenario you’d expect to see on an episode of Grey’s Anatomy—fodder for paranoia about all the contagions out there, lying in wait. “Necrotizing” denotes a substance that kills living tissue; necrotizing fasciitis is a bacterial infection that causes muscle, skin, and tissue death. The infection can be caused by several different types of bacteria, says Otto Yang, an infectious-diseases physician at UCLA’s David Geffen School of Medicine. “Almost any type of bacteria that can cause skin infections can cause this. Staph. Streptococcus. And sometimes various mixtures of bacteria can get in there,” he says.

this:

The doctors diagnosed a skin infection and put her on intravenous antibiotics. Things got better. But two days later, the swelling suddenly returned. At that point, she told them that she had injected the bath salts (not to be confused with real bathing aids) at the party. The doctors cut open the skin on the woman's forearm and discovered a raging infection and dead muscle. They knew immediately that she was in serious trouble. As they cut skin farther up her arm in an effort to find healthy tissue, the infection was moving so fast they could see flesh dying right before their eyes.

and that:

A South Carolina woman has been diagnosed with a potentially deadly flesh-eating virus and is currently in critical condition, her husband said Thursday. Lana Kuykendall gave birth to twins on May 7 and was discharged soon after, but she returned to the hospital days later after noticing a rapidly expanding bruise on her leg. Doctors have since removed the dead skin and the tissue from both her legs and she is now on a ventilator, and her husband said she is suffering from the flesh-eating virus, although doctors have not publicly confirmed it. The case comes just weeks after Georgia graduate student Aimee Copeland contracted necrotizing fasciitis after cutting her leg while ziplining and is also currently on ventilator.
