God DAMN!!!

@mew9934234 It's interesting though that it's not actually paralyzed, it just can't initiate movement. This is also the case in humans with severe Parkinson's: they can catch a ball if you throw it to them, but they can't hand it back to you. That's what's zombielike about the condition.
Understanding why brains (of both humans and cockroaches) are wired up that way could lead to considerable advances in neuroscience (and potentially bring about the zombie apocalypse).
-
@uberdeater Actually the zombie cockroach condition here is highly analogous to Parkinson's Disease in humans, so understanding how it works in much simpler species could lead to treatments for humans.
-
How does being unable to walk make you a zombie? Wouldn't this be: "Paralyzed cockroach cured by antidote?" Overdramatizing is fun but I think they're taking it a step too far here.
-
@uberdeater Would you rather them try the shot on a human?
-
We do need to be prepared with an antidote for when the human zombie pandemic strikes.
-
Yet another reason why I'm glad I'm not a cockroach.

Alright scientist, i have a 5.9 million dollar grant for your research, what will you do next? cure cancer ? stop the affects of altzheimers ?
no... i have much better plans......
and thus is why we now have a medical procedure to un paralyze cockroaches
Good job scientist money well spent.....

@1c2a3s5e11y well, instead of stopping fammine I would invest on education, because poor uneducated people have a lot of kids, who are very likely to stay poor and unneducated. I say, prevent famine by preventing overpoulation.
