Zombies Rogerian Argument
Zombies  rush taken oer. They dominate television shows, movies and  some(prenominal)thing else related to  come out of the closet culture and have become increasingly more popular as the years progress. Whether its a mob of  snake gods sucking the brains out of a helpless victim on the big screen or  golems terrorizing families on television shows, it is  impregnable to ignore the gory entourage. Fans of zombie lore  broadly speaking f tout ensemble into deuce categories those who  be attracted to the popularity of zombies and see them as purely  fun and those who  non  and are amused by zombies, but  potentiometer also see the  hatchway of fiction becoming reality.The possibility of a zombie apocalypse is very real and terrifying and most of the  race simply wouldnt  go bad. No  mavin is safe. Now is the time to  wangle and learn about the potential threat and to ensureabove all else survival. For hundreds of years zombies have conjured images of the reanimated dead, mindlessly sea   rching for the next repast of human brains.  art object this  may be true in Hollywood, zombies  real started out as mindless servants who worked on farms in Haiti, where voodoo was the  chief(prenominal) religion in practice.Voodoo priests of priestesses are  deliberated to use medicinal concoctions which  plunder  trifle the dead back to life as zombie slaves, who were  hence worked out in the fields. This became such a problem in Haiti that family members would  throw the graves of loved ones until they were certain the body had begun to decompose, as voodoo only works on the freshly dead. (Real Zombies, 1) At any rate, many  mass simply do not believe in the possibility of a single zombie, let alone a zombie apocalypse.The notion of a human  existence brought back to life as a  line of credit thirsty creature does sound far-fetched, and as of yet there have been no documented  cuticles of the typical Hollywood zombie. It is human nature to  fend ideas that are so outlandish and    terrifying, especially given the seeming  leave out of proof surrounding a zombie invasion. Normally, such things can be chalked up to a  transparent fad taking hold of the  terra firmas youth as a result of cinematic  glamor and the growth of social networking.Normally, most people would agree that the zombie  frenzy will be short lived and would certainly not amount to the  significative infatuation that seems to have taken hold of the populace. We always seek the rational, the explainable, the safe. Unfortunately,  ilk history has proven time and again, inexplicable events can often  channelize our views of what is rational and real. There is a very real and poignant possibility that we could be faced with a zombie infestation, and it could  bechance at any time.The conditions are right. From a scientific standpoint, the ingredients for a devastating zombie  bam are primed and ready, with some needing only a slight  exploitation of a bacteria, virus, or even  poriferans. Toxoplas   mosa Gondii is a rather terrifying parasite that can only breed in the intestines of a cat. While that may not seem unusual, the parasite actually lives and grows on rats. In  instal to be ingested by felines, the parasites take  all over the rats brain and make it  scuffle towards where cats habitate.What makes this even more horrifying is that over half of the human  race are already infected with Toxoplasmosa and it has been scientifically proven to alter the  temper of those who are infected. It would only take a few changes in the parasites to occur either naturally or in a  laboratory  in advance we become slaves to a parasite. Neurotoxins are second on the list. Neurotoxins are poisons(naturally occurring or man-made) that can be used to slow bodily functions to the point of being legally declared dead.They can also be used to bring those people back in a trance-like state with no  memory board  indwellingly leaving them as a shuffling, mindless husk. One case in Haiti tells    of a Clairvius Narcisse, who was legally declared dead by two doctors but was found 18 years later wandering  or so a village. A voodoo preist had been using neurotoxins to make Clairvius into a zombie to work his fields. Next is the virus that causes Mad Cow disease.The virus turns  kine into enraged attack animals, and when ingested by  serviceman it manifests as Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. This disease causes hallucinations,  need of coordination, muscle twitching and rapidly-developing dementia that an turn intensely violent. Neurogenesis is also  able-bodied of creating zombies. Neurogenesis is the act regrowing brain cells, or entire brains.This sounds great, but a lab who expiraments in neurogenesis has proven that is can cause the brain to die from the  inner(a) out destroying parts of the rain that make us human first. It destroys the  noetic cortex and leaves only basic motor functions and instincts behind. Lastly are nanobots, which are microscopic, self-replicating robots    that scientists have used to attach to viruses. These nanobots can survive even  after(prenominal) the host dies. Now there are studies that aim to use nanobots to  flip-flop damages neural connections in the human brain. They can rewire your thoughts and survive after host deathwhat could possibly go wrong? (Wong,5)In lieu of the overwhelming scientific evidence that supports the possibility of a zombie apocalypse, it is imperative that the human race be prepared for such an event. It is  meaty that we strive to get in shape and remain healthy not only for longevity, but also for survival. The reality of the situation is that, quite simply, one cannot possibly deny that science is constantly evolving.There are weapons of warfare,  two biological and chemical, that can cause mass dementia, insanity, and eventually death. Wiki,1) Is it so hard to imagine a weapon being forged that could enslave humans by destroying their minds and making them a mindless horde? Suddenly, the concept    of a zombie apocalypse doesnt seem so far fetched. While the vast majority may, thanks to the exaggerations made by Hollywood, not believe in the possibility of a zombie take-over, it is important to remember that anything is  thinkable with the amount of technology that continues to constantly evolve.By keeping in shape, memorizing  bleed routes at home and being constantly aware, human-kind may stand a chance against a plague of undead. The presence of parasites able to take over brain functions, neurotoxins able to control the body, miniscule robots poised to take over the brain and viruses able to reduce humans into demented, tortured shadows of a creature, it is essential that preparations are taken in the event one of those things should evolve. The reasoning is simple and appeals to human nature it is better to be safe, than sorry.
