Editing Guidelines

Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article:

If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film)
- For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films)
When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references.
Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.

A Film infobox needs to be added to this article, or the current one needs to be updated. For formatting information see the style guidelines

Sorry, but this film is an obvious fake based around loose facts and it needs a major editing (when I get a chance). It uses basic scientific facts - like real work with a heart-lung machine and then leaps into science fiction - like completely draining the blood of a dog and then re-filling the dog like his vascular system is a simple bottle.

Science is built upon the premise that people both are prone to mistake and capable outright lying (sometimes convincingly) for no apparent reason. Because these “experiments” have not and can not be reproduced by a 3rd party, and any “scientific” notes on the “experiments” are lost, and they defy basic anatomy and the laws of physics, this movie must be regarded as fiction.

When a vascular system is drained of blood, it collapses. As a result it is impossible to re-introduce blood as is shown in these “experiments”. If there is any hope of succeeding as they purport to do, this is one of the many complications that render these “procedures” fiction.

Simply by knowing some scientific possibility and staging a movie around it does not in and of itself replace actual science and actual fact. Thus, though we know building an interstellar space ship is physically possible, we would hardly argue that StarTrek is “fact” or anything close to actual science. This film has no more credibility than any episode of StarTrek (ref. Spock’s Brain).

[edit] May 25, 2006 Edits

I have edited the article to remove bias and add more information about the experiment. I have moved criticism of the film's veracity from the summary to the new "Fact or Fiction" section, which also includes scientific evidence supporting Bryukhonenko's work. I have added 3 public domain pictures - a still from the film, a patent diagram, and a rare and less glamorous view of the procedure. Lastly, I have expanded the links section from one link to seven.
